As a reminder, all employees must use their excess vacation before the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 2016 unless written permission for carry over is granted by the respective Vice Chancellor.   In no case will excess vacation be carried past September 30, 2016.  Excess vacation is anything above the limit an employee may carry over from one fiscal year to another.   Departments will need to track use of excess carryover on employee timesheets since Banner does not carry excess vacation from one fiscal year into the next fiscal year.   

Employees who elect to retire with unused excess vacation will only be paid out the value of their vacation at their vacation limit.

An employee may view his/her vacation carryover limit by viewing their leave balance information in CougarNet.  Below are the directions to view leave balances:

1. Log onto Cougarnet (Self-Service).  For help logging into CougarNet, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 618.650.5500.
2. Select Employment,
3. Select Leave Balances,
4. Scroll down to the section seen in the example below and click the blue text.  The example below is for Administrative Staff Leave Category 80. Since this is an example, an employee’s actual leave category may be different.  Once you click the blue text, a new tab will open.

Example:

1. Scroll down to the Maximum 2 Year Rollover section (Vacation) to see the amount of time you may carry over.  The Max rollover is based on your years of service -
