HRDG 4630 - Absence and Leave - Section B - Subsection f

Refer to the following table to determine how accrued annual leave will be transferred when an employee transfers or is separated and then reemployed without a break in service:

Note: Employees may also transfer annual leave to other employees in certain situations. See Section J for more information on the Voluntary Leave Transfer Program.

Annual leave is not transferred when an employee:

• Transfers to a position with an intermittent tour of duty and is not expected to return to a full-time or part-time position before the time covered by a lump sum expires.
• Transfers to a cooperative position in which annual leave is earned under a special system.
• Is serving in a temporary position while on involuntary furlough from a permanent position.

When any of the above situations occur, a lump sum is paid to the employee.

Annual leave is recredited when:

• An employee returns from military furlough and he/she did not receive a lump sum payment; or
• An employee is restored to a position as a result of an unwarranted personnel action separating the employee. Leave is accrued and recredited as if the employee had actually been on the rolls. The employee is still subject to the rules and regulations governing leave ceilings and restoration.
