As we head into summer and our fiscal year comes near its end, we remind you to check your current vacation leave balance.

Follow the instructions below to check your current vacation leave balance.

1. Log in to the MyMissouristate Portal
2. Click the Profile tab
3. Scroll down to the Employment Details window
4. Click on employee dashboard to view vacation leave hours

The maximum amount of vacation leave time that can be carried forward from one fiscal year to the next cannot exceed two times the employee’s annual allowance. Any amount of leave over the maximum accumulation of two times the annual allowance is lost at the end of the fiscal year (June 30).

How to ensure I don’t “lose” any vacation days

• Use It! This will not only prevent you from losing days, but taking vacation and getting away from work, or varying your daily routine can help in your overall physical and mental resilience. Take some time, recharge, re-energize and prevent burnout!

• You can also consider donating to the Shared Leave Pool at Missouri State. You can voluntarily donate accumulated vacation time as defined in the Leave Benefits section of the Employee Handbook to the Shared Leave Pool which will aid eligible employees who are unable to work because of a qualifying event. For information on how to donate see

Please contact the Office of Human Resources with any questions at 417-836-5102.
