[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people keep the carryover max? When do you plan to use it? I'm FINALLY hitting 240 the first pay period of 2022, after many years of taking just a week in the summer, the day after Thanksgiving, and a week at Christmas off all year. Should I try to keep it near the cap? Why? If I ever leave the feds, that's a lot of time I'll never get back.[/quote]

I keep it because I get so much other leave that I'm able to use throughout the year that I don't ever really go that far into my annual leave pot. I usually get a couple of time off awards good for a couple of weeks. I also earn credit hours when I work more than 40 hours a week, which happens regularly enough that I build up three extra days of leave a few times a year. I can't really take long vacations - we have a disabled toddler so we're not really doing family trips during covid. I mostly travel with girlfriends, but I can't leave my husband at home with our toddler for more than a week before it's too much for him. Combine three days of credit hours with a holiday weekend, and that's about all of the contiuous leave I get. If our kiddo didn't have multiple disabilities that got in the way of traveling (and also covid), I wouldn't hesitate to take a three or four week vacation once a year. My office would totally support that. [/quote]
