Introduction
State of Alaska employees may request that accrued personal leave hours are paid out monetarily via a Leave Cash-In. Certain restrictions apply for Leave Cash-In requests as defined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement for each bargaining unit. See table below for specific bargaining unit restrictions.
Helpful Information
- Leave Cash-In requests are processed at the pay rate associated with the first day of the pay period the Leave Cash-In is processed unless the employee is a “Cash Value” employee in which leave rates are based on the pay rate at which the leave was earned.
- Currently all non-covered employees and ASEA (GGU) employees hired into leave accruing positions after 07/01/2013 are considered Cash Value employees.
- Current leave balances are available in the Employee Self Service (ESS) application. Employees can find Leave Balances by selecting the Time and Leave Quick Link on the Employee homepage, on the Time and Leave page, select the View Leave Balance option from the carousel at the top of the page.
- Calculations of Leave Cash Value can also be found on this page in ESS. An instructional video for the Leave Cash Value Calculator can be found in AspireAlaska. Employees may also refer to the Leave Cash-In Calculator (LCAL) Map [PDF SOA Only].
