Leave and State Transfers

An employee may transfer up to 80 hours of vacation leave and 80 hours of sick leave when transferring from an eligible institution: these include another university in the Florida State University System, select State of Florida agencies, and Santa Fe College.

Upon separation, hours transferred are included with any UF leave accruals, and will be cashed out in accordance with UF leave policies, based on credited years of service with UF.

Sick Leave Pool Membership

A state transfer immediately will be eligible to join UF’s Sick Leave Pool. If he or she is interested in participating, a membership application must be submitted within 30 days of his or her start date or during the October open enrollment period.
