Be sure to utilize the Accrual Calculation Chart, which helps differentiate between employees with varying tenures—remember, the longer you are in a position, the more leave you accrue. We also offer an online class, Emergency Situations/Inclement Weather, that summarizes many of the aforementioned resources.
