This policy governs the accrual and use of annual leave, and applies to all regular Exempt employees of the University System of Maryland. A maximum of 50 workdays of annual leave may be carried into a new calendar year by all full-time exempt employees. At the end of each calendar year, a supervisor may, through appropriate channels, recommend to the institution s Chief Executive Officer or designee that an employee be paid for days of annual leave lost pursuant to Section III of this Policy. The supervisor s recommendation for payment for lost annual leave shall be accompanied by a written explanation of why the lost annual leave was not taken at another time during the calendar year.
Payment is at the discretion of the chief executive officer or designee.
It is also limited to unused annual leave that is in excess of the maximum accumulation and that is lost by the employee at the end of the calendar year.
