Managing Your Vacation Leave

  • Vacation time-off balances over 240 hours in Kronos are rolled forward on January 1 annually.
  • Submit and obtain approval for your current year Time Off Requests in Kronos by December 31.
  • Any current year Time Off Requests not submitted and approved by December 31 will not be included in
