Vacation leave conversion updates

Due to the pandemic, UF faculty and staff vacation leave conversion was paused for 2021 and 2022. Historically, vacation leave hours over the maximum are converted to sick leave in January.

For TEAMS and out-of-unit faculty, vacation balances in excess of 352 hours are converted to sick leave. In-unit faculty vacation hours in excess of 480 and USPS hours in excess of 240 are also converted to sick leave.

For 2023 only, accrued vacation leave maximums for sick leave conversions will increase by 120 hours.

For TEAMS and out-of-unit faculty, vacation balances in excess of 472 hours will be converted to sick leave. In-unit faculty vacation hours in excess of 600 and USPS hours in excess of 360 will also be converted to sick leave.

Annual vacation leave conversion for January 2024 will return to regular maximums.
