| Recredit of Annual Leave | Annual leave is recredited when: - An employee returns from military furlough and he/she did not receive a lump sum payment; or
- An employee is restored to a position as a result of an unwarranted personnel action separating the employee. Leave is accrued and recredited as if the employee had actually been on the rolls. The employee is still subject to the rules and regulations governing leave ceilings and restoration.
