Partial days are credited to the next fiscal year. Now, federal employees who are members of the Reserve or National Guard serving on active military duty which extends into a second or succeeding fiscal year may accrue and use the 15 days of military leave which accrue at the beginning of the second and each succeeding fiscal year without return to civilian status. An employee may use their entitlement of up to 15 days of military leave to include inactive duty training. Employees who are on a temporary indefinite appointment should check with their servicing Human Resources Site Office to determine if they are eligible for military leave. Intermittent employees are not eligible for military leave.
Military leave is chargeable on a calendar day basis.
Non-workdays and holidays at the beginning or ending of a period of absence on active duty are not chargeable. Non-workdays and holidays falling wholly within a period of absence on active duty will be charged to military leave. When a combination of military leave is used with other leave, the weekends and holidays falling wholly within the military duty period are still charged to military leave. Employees on military leave under these provisions may keep both their military and civilian pay. There is no offset.
