[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]16 year fed here and I never use all of my leave (I don't have any use or lose after all is said and done, but I do carry a sizable balance). My husband is also a fed and gets 80 hours of bonus leave each year, which is enough for him to take a good amount of time off with our kids. I save my leave for their sick or snow days, since my job is more flexible with last minutes needs. Plus, my sister had cancer and luckily had a ton of SL saved, so between that and her 8 hrs of AL each pay period, she never had to work without pay.  I keep stuff like unexpected medical issues in the  back of my mind.

I do take 1 week at Christmas, 1 week in the summer, and 1 week at spring break always.  The rest varies, depending on the year and what's going on.[/quote]

What kind of fed job gets 80 hours of bonus leave?  We will sometimes get a bonus of 16 hours, but I have never heard of 80.  Is that credit hours for working extra hours?  Even for that, we are capped at I believe 24 hours.[/quote]

PP here. It's two separate awards at 40 hours each. One is the yearly performance award (his agency gives very generous performance awards) and the other comes during the year for some other reason (not sure).  They're not guaranteed, but he has yet not get them.

My agency isn't nearly as generous.
