The following is a note from NU Central Administration concerning vacation policy:
As a result of a recent decision by the Nebraska Supreme Court involving a private employer, all Nebraska employers, including the University, can no longer require employees to use or lose their accrued vacation time.
The use/lose column is no longer on your pay advice and has been removed for the reports available in ESS. You will keep the vacation you have accrued through December of this year in your total vacation amount, and that amount will be carried over into next year. You will not lose any accrued and unused vacation that you have earned under the current University policies.
It is likely that the Board of Regents will consider amendments to the University’s policies on accrual of vacation as a result of the court decision. If you have questions, please contact your campus human resources division.
