However, as my hours will increase in FY23, I will not be taking an extended leave this summer. Instead, I will use my remaining PTO for FY22 to take a ten day vacation, June 16 through 26, after which I will return with reduced hours through July. How much I will be working week to week is still unknown. Doubtless, my hours will vary. However, you can count on me to be at church Wednesdays and Sundays through the summer.
