Federal employees accrue 4 hours of paid annual leave per pay period (two weeks) for their first six years of federal service. That comes out to thirteen days a year.
After six years, it becomes six hours a pay period. After I think fifteen or seventeen years, it becomes 8 hours.
So while federal leave maxes out close to what the rest of the world has, it takes a long time to get there.
- thearn4 10y agoTrue, but I think a key thing for us is that annual leave (which has a carry-over cap) is accrued separately from sick leave (which has no cap). That is, our annual leave is actual bonafide vacation time. In many workplaces in the U.S., employees have no paid sick leave at all.
