Please be advised that the previous agreements regarding carryover of vacation accruals, which commenced in 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, will expire on December 31, 2023. 

In practice, this December 31, 2023 expiration of such agreements has the following results:  

• For employees represented by CSEA, PEF, DC37 and The Troopers PBA, vacation accruals earned before April 1, 2023 are reduced to 40 days as of December 31, 2023. However, any vacation earned on or after April 1, 2023 can be carried until April 1, 2024, at which point any vacation accruals over the contractual cap will be reduced to 40 days. Accordingly, for such employees on the Administration Payroll cycle as of January 1, 2024, the maximum that they can carry forward is 40 days of vacation plus the amount of vacation they would be credited during the first twenty pay periods of the current fiscal year (including any applicable bonus days).  

On April 1, 2024, all employees will be subject to the contractual cap on vacation accumulation.  

• For M/C employees and employees represented by UUP, they must be at their normal vacation accumulation cap as of January 1, 2024. No accruals in excess of 40 days will be carried past December 31, 2023. 
   
• For employees represented by Council 82, PBA of NYS and NYSCOPBA, vacation accruals earned before September 30, 2023 are reduced to 40 days as of December 31, 2023. Any vacation earned on or after October 1, 2023 can be carried until September 30, 2024. Accordingly, for such employees as of January 1, 2024, the maximum that they can carry forward is 40 days of vacation plus the amount of vacation they would be credited during the six pay periods between October 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 (including any applicable bonus days). The actual amount of vacation carried forward by any such employee for the period October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 will be subject to all normal rules governing eligibility to be credited with vacation (e.g., remaining in pay status, etc.).  

On October 1, 2024, all such employees will be subject to the contractual cap on vacation accumulation.
