Questions and answers

What is the minimum leave charge under DODI1400.25V630_AFI36-815?

The minimum charge to leave is 15 minutes (except for military leave, which is charged in accordance with paragraph 10. j, How Military Leave Is Charged.) Additional leave is charged in increments of 15 minutes. (paragraph 7)

When is leave not charged for an absence?

Leave is charged only on days the employee would otherwise work and receive pay. Leave is not charged for an absence on holidays or other nonworking days, except when certain employees are paid additional compensation for standby duty (e.g., firefighters).

How do employees on uncommon tours of duty accrue and use leave?

Pursuant to part 630.210 of Reference (c), employees on uncommon tours of duty accrue and use leave on the basis of that uncommon tour. (paragraph 2)

How is the leave accrual rate calculated for an uncommon tour of duty?

To determine accrual rates according to the directly proportional rule outlined in part 630.210(a) of Reference (c), the number of hours in the uncommon tour is multiplied by the accrual rate divided by 80 (uncommon tour X (accrual rate/80) = uncommon accrual rate). (paragraph 2)

Do fractional units of leave transfer when an employee moves within the DoD?

Pursuant to part 630.506(b) of Reference (c), fractions of an hour of leave will transfer when an employee moves within the DoD. The ability to use the transferred fractional unit of leave will depend on the minimum leave charge applicable to the employee’s new position. (paragraph 2)
