Leave Transfer Program Management

The Leave Transfer Program (LTP) Management function is used by HR human resources Administrators to manage leave transfer programs. webTA provides management for the following three types of leave transfer programs and tracks transactions associated with each account:

• Voluntary Leave Bank Program (VLBP Voluntary Leave Transfer Program) - Leave banks are established to assist employees who are experiencing a personal or family medical emergency and have exhausted his or her available paid leave. Employees may contribute unused accrued annual leave to the leave bank. Any unused donated annual leave is returned to the leave bank.

  Note: An Agency is not required to establish a leave bank program.

• Voluntary Leave Transfer Program (VLTP Voluntary Leave Transfer Program) - Under VLTP Voluntary Leave Transfer Program, an employee may donate annual leave directly to another employee who has a personal or family medical emergency and who has exhausted his or her available paid leave. Any unused donated annual leave is returned to the leave donors.
• Emergency Leave Transfer Program (ELTP Emergency Leave Transfer Program) - In the event of a major disaster or emergency as declared by the President that results in severe adverse effects for a substantial number of employees, the President may direct the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to establish an ELTP Emergency Leave Transfer Program.

  Note: In certain situations, OPM Office of Personnel Management may also delegate an Agency to establish an ELTP Emergency Leave Transfer Program.

Note: An employee may participate concurrently in VLBP Voluntary Leave Bank Program and VLTP Voluntary Leave Transfer Program.
