Why does the leave and earnings statement (LES) indicate leave without pay (LWOP)?
During the summer recess period, the DoDEA Personnel Center processes personnel actions on all GS seasonal employees placing them in a non-pay status. The payroll database, however, will often reflect that the employee is on LWOP. LESs are printed from information within payroll’s database, therefore the LES will indicate that employee is on LWOP. This is a “glitch” in the payroll database and has no effect on the employee’s permanent personnel records. The personnel record will reflect non-pay status, not LWOP.
