Transfer of Military Leave
When an employee transfers from one Federal agency to another, any unused military leave authorized under 5 U.S.C 6323(a) is credited to the employee for use during the remainder of the FY and for carryover into the succeeding FY, as appropriate. If an employee is separated and not reemployed during the FY in which separated, any unused military leave under 5 U.S.C. 6323(a) may be credited to the employee if reemployed in the Federal service during the FY which immediately follows the FY in which he/she separated. If the employee does not return to duty during the same or succeeding FY in which separated, any unused military leave under 5 U.S.C. 6323(a) is forfeited.
When an employee transfers from one Federal agency to another, any unused military leave under 5 U.S.C 6323(b) or (d) is available to the employee for use during the remainder of the CY. If an employee is separated and not reemployed during the CY in which separated, any unused military leave under 5 U.S.C. 6323(b) is forfeited.
