fed gov how many pay periods per year
A pay period is every two weeks and typically 80 hours. If you work more or less than 80 hours in a pay period you will not accrue any annual. Employees new to the government earn 4 hours of annual leave per 80 hours worked. If you are a full time employee, that equates to 13 days of paid personal leave per year. After 3 years to federal service employees earn 6 hours per pay period or 19.5 days per year. After 15 years of full time federal service employees earn 8 hours of paid personal leave per pay period which is equal to 26 days off per year. When an employee leaves a government job â either for retirement or to peruse another non-federal job â the employee will receive monetary compensation for unused annual leave.
