Annual Leave Accrual
Annual leave accrual is based on years of continuous Commonwealth of Virginia service. A maximum amount of accumulated leave may be carried over at the end of the benefit year, defined as January 10th to January 9th. Subject to the manager's approval, employees may use annual leave incrementally as soon as it is earned. The following chart explains the accrual rate and maximum carryover of hours for full-time employees.
