Sep. 23, 2004 Some airmen can carry over 'use or lose' leave RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – Active-duty Airmen who were unable to take annual leave this past year because they supported contingency operations will be allowed to accumulate more than the normal 60 days after the fiscal year ends. Members unable to use leave due to their support of contingency operations may be eligible for special leave accrual. Those affected can retain up to 120 days of leave until the end of fiscal year 2005, according to personnel officials. “This program is meant to enable people to take leave they’ve earned,” said Senior Master Sgt. Don Taylor, superintendent of customer support operations at the Air Force Personnel Center. “In order for the program to work as planned, though, those affected need to take not only the leave they are carrying over now, but also the leave they will earn during the next fiscal year, or they may lose leave next year.” Those who meet the criteria for having excess leave should contact their local military personnel flight, customer service element, for additional information. - 30 - |
