Leave Policy
Questions and answers
Military leave is available to full-time and "part-time career" (PTC) employees only. Normally, PTC employees must work between 16 and 32 hours per workweek (5 U.S.C. 3401(2)). When an employee works two PTC positions, the amount of military leave that may be credited in each PTC position is in direct proportion to the number of hours scheduled for duty in each PTC position, not to exceed in the aggregate 15 days of military leave each fiscal year. However, military leave credited to one PTC position cannot be used for hours of absence from a second PTC position.
