The vacation leave balances from last year's worksheets are used as the initial balances on this year's worksheets. If your department has failed in the past to report balances for one or more employees, the leave balances on the worksheet reflect the balances as they were last reported. The worksheets list active fiscal-year EPA employees who are eligible to earn vacation leave. Add the name and social security number of any fiscal-year EPA employee for whom you know leave records are kept and who is not listed on your worksheets. Such an employee must be in your department.
Vacation leave is earned on a monthly basis.
If your department failed to report vacation leave balances last year, the balance reflects the balance last reported and should be brought up to date through June 30, 2000. They do, however, need to be signed by the person in the department responsible for keeping the records and verifying the balances with the employee. Departments should keep a copy of completed worksheets submitted to OAPS for internal records.
