We have an employee who has been on military leave without pay (LWOP-US) since October 2001. He is requesting to be paid for his 15 days of military leave for the new fiscal year. Is he entitled to this?
Yes. An employee who is a member of the Reserves or National Guard serving on active military duty which extends into a second or succeeding fiscal year may accrue and use the 15 days of military leave which accrue at the beginning of the second fiscal year and each succeeding fiscal year without return to civilian status. In addition, an employee who has been activated in support of the national emergency whose duty extends into the next calendar year will be entitled to up to an additional 22 days of military leave under 6323(b).
