JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. --  For most civilian employees, the maximum amount of annual leave that can be carried forward from one year to the next is 30 days or 240 hours. At the end of the leave year, Jan. 12, 2013, hours in excess of this amount are normally forfeited.

Annual leave that would otherwise be forfeited may be restored when it is lost as a result of an exigency of the service, sickness or incapacitation of the employee, or an administrative error.

Before forfeited annual leave may be considered for restoration, use of the annual leave must have been requested, approved and scheduled in writing before the start of the third biweekly pay period which for this year is before Dec. 1.
