MEMORANDUM FOR HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTORS: CORRECTION TO COMPENSATION POLICY MEMORANDUM

For most employees, leave year 2000 will end on January 13, 2001. For these employees, leave year 2000 will have 27 pay periods. Employees in the 6-hour annual leave accrual category will earn 10 hours in the last full pay period of calendar year 2000. (See 33 CG 85 (1953).)

As a result, employees in the 6-hour annual leave accrual category who retire on January 3, 2001, will receive credit for 10 hours of annual leave in the last full pay period of calendar year 2000 (ending December 30, 2000). However, these employees will not earn any leave in the last pay period of leave year 2000 because they will have separated in the middle of a pay period. Employees earn leave for each full pay period during which they are employed in a leave year.
