Several of the classified collective bargaining agreements contain provisions for requesting vacation pay in advance, with three (3) weeks written notice to the agency. However, with the MSA payroll system, checks are only written by the State Comptroller's Office on paydays. Therefore, a vacation advance must be requested three (3) weeks prior to a payday, which may actually be four (4) weeks prior to the start of a vacation period.
If you have any questions, please call the Payroll Office at (860) 486-2423.
Thank You.
