This field is used to set the Home Leave Accrual for the
employee. Home leave is a period of approved absence with pay
authorized by 5 U.S.C. 6305 for employees stationed abroad.
The rate at which an eligible employee earns home leave depends
on the conditions or terms of the appointment (position or assignment)
accepted by the employee. The number of days of home leave that may be
earned by an employee for each 12 months of service abroad and the
conditions or terms that are used to determine the employee's rate
of earnings are as follows:
15 days - for an employee who accepts an appointment, or occupies a
position requiring the employee to accept assignments anywhere in the
world as needed by the agency; is serving with a U.S. mission to a public
international organization; or is serving at a post for which payment of
a post differential of 20 percent or more is authorized by law or regulation.
10 days - for an employee who does not meet the requirements for the
accrual of 15 days, but is serving at a post for which payment of post
differential of at least 10 percent but less than 20 percent is authorized
by law or regulation.
5 days - for an employee who is otherwise entitled to accrue home leave
but does not meet the specific requirements of 1 or 2 above.
