As we approach the end of the leave year ---January 13, 2001, there are several important leave reminders that we need to share with you.
 Schedule Your Use-or-Lose Leave by December 1, 2000.
If you have "use-or-lose" annual leave, you should schedule it in writing with your supervisor-- no later than December 1, 2000. This step is important even if you may be unable to take your leave and plan to request restoration.
Use Standard Form 71, Application for Leave
Request Restoration of Use-or-Lose Leave by February 16, 2001.
If you are unable to use your previously scheduled "use-or lose" leave by the end of the leave year-- because of critical activities requiring your personal attention-- you may request restoration through your organizational director or program manager. Written requests for restoration of annual leave must be submitted by February 16th.
Use JF 696, Request for Restoration of Annual Leave
Use any remaining leave restored from the 1997 leave year.
Restored leave from 1997 will be forfeited unless you use it by January 13, 2001. It cannot be restored again.
Consider the JSC Leave Transfer Program
If you have "extra" leave or some that you would be willing to share, you may wish to consider transferring some of it-- to employees in our JSC Leave Transfer Program. Currently, we have over 20 of your JSC co-workers who are in need of donated leave in order to deal with medical emergencies. For information on this program, forms, and a list of recipients please visit the Leave Transfer Program on our webpage.
Important reminder: You may only donate the amount of annual leave that you could take by the end of the leave year. (E.g. If there are only 10 working days remaining in the leave year, you may only donate 10 days to the leave transfer program.)
2001 Schedule of Holidays, Pay Periods, and Pay Dates & Leave Planning Calendar are available online.
