Annual Leave Accrual Cap Extension

We are pleased to inform you that the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations (GOER) has reached an agreement with all unions on an extension of the upcoming annual leave expiration date of December 31, 2020. 

The new agreements apply to employees who were (or are currently) engaged in COVID-19 response efforts or unable to use annual leave due to ongoing response efforts and permit employees to carry over annual leave for use through December 31, 2021 close of business. This extension also applies to management/confidential (M/C) employees. 

The Research Foundation of SUNY has announced that they will follow GOER's announcement that allows employees to carry over vacation in excess of 40 days until December 31, 2021.
