Leave Transfer Management

Each Federal Government agency may establish and administer procedures to permit the voluntary transfer of annual leave between Federal Government employees in a time of crisis. A crisis can be a personal medical emergency or a situation deemed as an emergency of the agency.

There are three types of programs in which employees may donate or receive annual leave hours. These programs have similar but slightly different eligibility or usage rules. Employees may participate in more than one program.
