[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should I be taking my 130+ hours of use or lose now instead of saving them for the second half of December/early January?

Or do I get an extension on them if a Shutdown prevents me from taking leave? (very likely I would be furloughed)[/quote]

you should start taking days. if there ends up being another furlough, you may get some of the scheduled leave restored, but that's a whole process and isn't necessarily guaranteed. also your supervisor may not approve a big chunk of leave in the last pay period if you haven't already scheduled it.

if your agency has a leave bank, you should join it during open season. you can always donate use-or-lose leave rather than lose it, and it helps if you get into a bad health situation in the future.[/quote]

Is a leave bank different from the Voluntary Leave Transfer Program?[/quote]

yes, VLTP is a directed program to individuals. A leave bank manages the pool of donated leave so you don't have to select individuals and donate directly to them. At my agency the leave bank takes one PP of leave annually for membership and will auto-receive any use or lose that would automatically be lost. [/quote]
