Estimate your leave cash-out using the calculator below after reviewing eligibility and maximums for your employment type.
A lifetime maximum is the greatest amount of leave that can be cashed out for an employee during any employment at UF. These levels are determined by your appointment classification.
If you received a prior cash-out upon separation from UF employment, it may impact your current eligibility. Contact central-leave@ufl.edu to determine your prior cash-out amount.
Note: Upon separation, all available hours up to the lifetime maximum must be cashed out.
Per University of Florida regulation, the method and timing of receiving the cash-out will depend upon the total amount of the payment.
If your cash-out is under $5,000 payment will be sent electronically to the banking information you have on file.
If your cash-out is $5,000 or greater, payment will sent via a one-time, tax deferred retirement contribution account.
If you’re eligible for a leave cash-out, your department can submit the request on your behalf during the pay period following your last day of employment. If you have questions about the cash-out process or want to check the status of your leave cash-out, please reach out to your department’s HR team or HR Liaison. Processing may take 4 to 6 weeks after submission eligibility is met.
If your cash-out was $5,000 or greater and distributed to a Fidelity Investments account, you may invest, roll over, or distribute these funds. Contact Fidelity Investments directly with any questions through their UF contact portal.
