Actual balances for each employee are not considered public record. We did share the accrual rate for each employee as it relates to their benefits on the spreadsheet.

Thank you for compiling the spreadsheet!
I noticed the last two columns say they show the “monthly accrual rate” of vacation and sick leave.
I was hoping to receive the current balance for each Full-Time employee:
5) Vacation and sick time balances (totals only). As of August 16, 2024. [or on the present day]
Is it possible to provide those data points?
Thank you!
