Leave balances affect your retirement

Sick leave adds to your service credit, while annual leave is paid out as a lump sum.

Current annual leave balance*

Annual Leave Accrual Category

Your category determines how much annual leave you earn per pay period.

I am stationed overseas

Raises how much annual leave you can carry into a new leave year from 240 hours to 360. It does not change how fast you earn leave, which still follows your category above.

Restored Annual Leave

Leave that was forfeited and later restored, after an administrative error or an exigency. Leave this blank if you have none.

Restored leave hours

Restored leave sits in a separate account. It is exempt from the carryover ceiling, so it is never use-or-lose, and it is paid in your lump sum.
