Liquidation of Advanced Annual Leave a) Advanced annual leave may be liquidated by subsequently earned annual leave or by a refund upon separation from federal service. With the consent of the Agency, an employee may arrange to refund advanced annual leave in cash, if mutually agreeable and administratively feasible. The pay rate applicable to refund is that rate which was in effect at the time the advanced annual leave was taken.
b) When an employee who is indebted for advanced annual leave transfers to another federal agency without a break in service, the NPS must certify the employee's annual leave account to the new agency for charge. NPS will transfer the negative annual leave balance to the employee's new agency.
c) When an employee who is indebted for advanced annual leave separates from federal service, the employee will be required to refund the amount of advanced leave, or the Agency may deduct that amount from any pay due the employee upon separation. However, if the employees dies, retires for disability, or is separated or resigns because of disability, the requirement to repay does not apply. The Agency will make the determination as to whether an employee has separated or resigned because of disability.
d) An employee who enters active military service with a right to restoration is not considered as having separated and is not required to refund the amount of advanced annual leave when entering military service. The advanced annual leave will be liquidated either after the employee returns to duty or is separated from Federal service.
