LEAVE AND OTHER ABSENCES
1.0 GENERAL (0501)
1.1 Purpose (050101)
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) provides government-wide information on Federal leave policies and programs. Each Federal agency is responsible for administering leave policies and programs for its employees. The purpose of this chapter is to provide information on leave policies specific to DoD employees as they apply to the various types of leave, including annual leave, sick leave, leave sharing, leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), leave options for child birth/placement, and time off for special circumstances, such as weather and safety leave, disabled veteran leave, or court leave. The type, amount, and nature of leave benefits are dependent on the type and length of employment, military status, and other eligibility requirements.
1.2 Authoritative Guidance (050102)
The pay policies and requirements established by the DoD in this chapter are derived primarily from, and prepared in accordance with OPM's Pay and Leave; Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 63, (5 U.S.C. Chapter 63); Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 630 (5 CFR Part 630); and the DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1400.25-V630. Due to the subject matter in the chapter, the list of authoritative sources is extensive. The specific statutes, regulations, and other applicable guidance that govern each section are listed in a reference section at the end of this chapter.
2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES (0502)
2.1 Objectives (050201)
Civilian Payroll Offices (PRO) and payroll systems areas are responsible for meeting the following objectives:
2.1.1. Maintaining leave records and balances for each employee as provided in paragraph 2.3,
2.1.2. Recording accrued and accumulated leave. Accrued leave is leave earned by an employee during the current leave year that is unused at any given time in that year. Accumulated leave means unused leave remaining to the credit of an employee at the beginning of the leave year,
2.1.3. Reporting all leave taken, and
2.1.3. Reporting accurate data on leave use and accruals in order to simplify the collection of leave related debts and preparation of financial reports.

Financial Management Regulation
2.2 Maintaining Leave Records (050202)
Volume 8, Chapter 5 *August 2021
A leave record must be maintained for each employee in order to show:
2.2.1. Rate of accrual for each type of leave,
2.2.2. Hours or days accrued and type of leave used,
2.2.3. Hours or days of leave advanced by leave type, and
2.2.4. Leave balances.
2.3 Rate of Leave Accrual (050203)
2.3.1. Leave Year. The leave year begins on the first day of the first full biweekly pay period in a calendar year. A leave year ends on the day immediately before the first day of the first full biweekly pay period in the following calendar year (or first complete pay period in the following calendar year). See the leave years for 2012 through 2030 at the OPM Fact Sheet, Leave Year Beginning and Ending Dates.
2.3.2. System Requirements for Accurate Leave Records. To ensure proper accrual rates, the civilian payroll system must contain accurate information on the type of appointment for each employee and the types of leave hours or days to which the employee is entitled. Leave earned for each type of leave using the correct rates effective for the proper times must be accurately recorded.
2.3.3. Reductions in Leave Credits. Reductions in the leave balances are made at the beginning of each leave year for any accumulated leave that exceeds statutory limits. Reductions in leave credits must be made in accordance with 5 CFR 630.208.
2.3.4. Reductions Resulting in a Debit. When a reduction in leave credits results in a debit to an employee's annual leave account at the end of a leave year, the agency must:
2.3.4.1. Carry the debit forward as a charge against the annual leave to be earned by the employee in the next leave year; or
2.3.4.2. Require the employee to refund the amount paid him for the period covering the excess leave that resulted in the debit.
2.3.5. Recording Leave Credits and Usage. Annual and sick leave earned for each pay period must be posted to the employee's leave record. The leave record must also reflect all leave used during the same pay period.
2.3.6. Prorating the Accrual of Leave. When an employee's service is interrupted by a nonleave-earning period, leave is earned on a pro rata basis for the portion of the pay period that the employee is in a pay status. See 5 CFR 630.204. See Table 5-1 for proration of leave.
