What is the maximum number of annual leave hours that can be carried over into the new leave year?
A. Normally, an employee is allowed to carry over 240 hours of annual leave. However, there are exceptions. Employees in the Senior Executive Service (SES) have a ceiling of 720 hours. SES employees who had higher balances before October 16, 1994, may retain whatever higher ceiling they have at the end of the leave year but not more than the ceiling they had on October 15, 1994. If the employee’s personal ceiling was 1000 last year but at the end of this year is 900 hours, the new personal ceiling is 900 hours. He/she may never carry over more than 900 hours again. Employees who work overseas and in American territories who are entitled to home leave can carry 360 hours. When they return to the states, they may keep the higher personal ceiling. This ceiling remains in effect until the employee carries over a smaller amount (into a new leave year), at which time the smaller amount becomes the new leave ceiling. The same rule regarding a reduction in carryover ceilings also applies to me
