Vacation expiration deadlines extended

Last year, in recognition of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK and UK HealthCare offered an extension of the deadline to use some accrued vacation time. 

To avoid a compressed timeline to use vacation time accrued during two separate fiscal years, UK and UK HealthCare will offer a series of further extensions to make sure staff are able to use their vacation time and units are able to maintain the level of staffing they require.

Non-health care staff

• Vacation time scheduled to expire on March 31, 2022, will still expire on that date, based on the previously announced extension.
• Vacation time scheduled to expire on June 30, 2022, will now expire on December 31, 2022.
• Vacation time scheduled to expire on June 30, 2023, will now expire on September 30, 2023.
• Vacation time scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024, will still expire on that date.
• Vacation time is accrued over the course of a fiscal year

UK HealthCare staff

• Non-exempt staff may be paid for their vacation time set to expire, per the existing UK HealthCare policy. Exempt UK HealthCare staff will receive the following extensions:
• Vacation time scheduled to expire on June 29, 2022, will still expire on that date, based on the previously announced extension.
• Vacation time scheduled to expire on September 30, 2022, will expire on March 31, 2023.
• Vacation time scheduled to expire on September 30, 2023, will expire on December 31, 2023.
• Vacation time scheduled to expire on September 30, 2024, will still expire on that date.
