An Update Regarding Conversion of Sick Leave to Vacation Leave
August 3, 2026
Beginning Sept. 1, 2026, only AFSCME employees will be eligible to convert sick leave to vacation leave. The personal leave conversion option, which most employees rely on for this kind of flexibility, remains fully intact. This means employees will still have real flexibility in how they use their accrued sick leave, and will not lose those hours as a result of this update.
