Leave Reduction Plan

​Periodic time off is beneficial for an employee's well-being and health.  In an effort to encourage a healthy work-life balance and to comply with existing leave balance maximum caps, employees near or above the maximum of their vacation/annual leave balance should prepare a leave usage plan.
