What is the Annual Leave Reserve Account benefit?
This option allows you to bank up to 40 hours of vacation each fiscal year in an Annual Leave Reserve Account. You are eligible for this beginning with the fiscal year following the year in which you complete 10 or more years of WRS service with the university or state government in a position in which you earned vacation. You are notified of this benefit in June the year prior to completing your 10 years. In May of the year you are eligible to bank vacation, you are advised of the amount of vacation you can bank. You can use banked hours at anytime with approval by your supervisor or department chair. Note: If you have 25 years of service, please see the following question regarding the cash payment option.
