It is your responsibility to know your leave balance. Please review your leave balances in the employee dashboard under Leave Balances. Your leave balance accruals for each pay period will show once your pay stub is available for the current pay period. Leave taken for the period is subtracted when WLR is approved.

If you use more leave than you have available, the WLR system will respond 鈥減ossible insufficient leave balance鈥�. WLR will accept your entry even if you do not have leave available to take.

Exceeding your available leave balance may result in a pay adjustment. You will be contacted by the payroll office.

What happens when I reach the maximum allowed to accrue of vacation?
If you have met the maximum allowable leave balance, you will no longer accrue leave until you report leave taken and hours have been subtracted by a Leave Report. More Info on Leave Administration.
