Purpose

Vacation Leave Credit
Employees will be granted credit for eligible service as outlined in the SGEU and CUPE 600 Collective Bargaining Agreements.
Note: Requests for recognition of previous eligible service for vacation purposes. The employee is responsible to inform the employer, and to provide proof, of any previous service that may affect their vacation.
The Public Service Commission will receive and review enquiries regarding additional vacation leave credit for eligible service. If additional vacation leave credit is approved:
- For employees with previous Executive Government of Saskatchewan service, vacation leave credit for this time will be provided retroactive to the latest commencement of employment.
- For employees with eligible service with other employers, vacation leave credit for this time, will be provided from the current vacation year forward, only.
Note: When provided additional vacation leave credit, as a result of previous service, employees who receive vacation pay as a percentage of their total earnings shall have their vacation pay recalculated at the appropriate percentage from the first day of the pay period following the date on which they become eligible for the higher vacation rate.

Payout of Vacation
