Full-Time staff need to use leave by December 23
Full-time employees will lose all personal leave and any vacation hours over 240 on December 31.

Part-time staff can make up holiday hours
Part-time staff may work more hours before and/or after holidays with supervisor approval as long as the Payroll time policies are followed (not more than 39 hours per week AND less than 120 hours in November and 112 hours in December).
