Can postdocs carry forward annual time?

Postdocs are encouraged to use their annual time during the fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) in which it is accrued. However, it is possible for a postdoc to have accrued but unused days as of June 30. Up to 40 hours carryover will automatically roll over into the new fiscal year and must be used by August 31 of the new fiscal year, or the time will be forfeited.

Existing postdocs will not lose accrued but unused annual and sick time during this transition.
