The information I have included below and the January C.U.P.E Sick and Vacation Report can assist you in determining whether employees in your department have significant periods of vacation to use prior to April 30 th , 1998. The accumulated vacation balance that appears on an employee's cheque stub and on the Sick and Vacation Report in any given month represents the employee's total balance to the end of that month excluding any days taken in that month. This balance reflects both the number of days an employee has left to use in the current year plus what the employee has earned to date to be used in the following vacation year. The vacation year runs from May 1 to April 30.
Vacation accrued in one year is to be used in the next year.
The total vacation balance can be found on the monthly Sick Vacation Report as well as the employee's cheque stub. However this balance does not reflect any days the employee used in that month. In order to calculate the Actual Total Vacation Balance as at the end of January, you must subtract from the total vacation balance any days used in January. To calculate the Next Year's Vacation Accrual you must determine the number of vacation days which have been accrued to date in the current vacation year. In most cases you can use the amounts calculated for you in Table B below.
