THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Unused Leave Dies
At Jan. 9 Deadline
By JOSEPH YOUNG
Stir staff Writer
As the 1959 leave year enters its final two months, Govern
ment workers are reminded that they have until midnight
January 9. 1960, to use the annual leave they earned this year.
For those who started this leave year with more than 30
days of accumulated annual leave, all the annual leave they
earned during 1959 must be used by next January 9 or they
will lose the unused portion.
In other words, they can keep
all the accumulated annual
leave they had at the start of
the year but cannot increase it
For those who had less
than 30 days of accumulated
leave at the start of the year,
they can wind up the leave
year on January 9 with 30 days
but no more. This means that
they must use all of this year's
earned leave by January 9
which otherwise would give
them in excess of 30 days. If
they don’t, they will lose this
unused portion.
Thus, employes should lose
no time in asking their agen
cies for their 1959 vacation
time.
Postal workers have until
midnight of next January 8 to
use the annual leave earned in
1959.
Both groups of workers can
carry over unused sick leave
from year to year without any
restrictions. There is no limit
on the amount of sick leave
which they can accumulate.
