Special Leave Accrual for Service Members
Today, Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Matthew Donovan signed a department-wide authorization for service members to accrue and retain an additional leave balance of up to 120 days. The department’s actions to stem the spread of COVID-19 has significantly limited the ability of service members to take leave during this national emergency, and we know that leave is vital to the health and welfare of our force.
This allows military personnel an additional 4 months of vacation in 2020 to use in order to comply with shelter in-place orders.
