Disabled Veteran Leave

The Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act of 2015 mandates that any new Federal employee (hired on or after November 5, 2016) who is a Veteran with a service-connected disability rated at 30 percent or more be granted immediate access to 104 hours of Disabled Veteran Leave. This leave may only be used within a continuous 12-month period beginning on the first day of employment/reemployment and may not exceed 104 hours; however, some employees with an uncommon tour of duty may exceed 104 hours.

Part-time, non-seasonal, and full-time seasonal employees' leave will be prorated based on each employee's tour of duty. Any Disabled Veteran Leave credited to an employee that is not used during the first 12 months of employment and/or reemployment shall be forfeited.

If the employee is reinstated after a break in service, or transferred and has a sick leave credit balance when they are hired, the amount of Disabled Veteran Leave will be reduced by the amount of sick leave that the employee has available on the first day of the reemployment.

The Disabled Veteran Leave page is read-only and displays the employee's Disabled Veteran Leave information, if applicable.

Note: Select the Leave Balances link from the Time menu on the Employee Main Menu page to check your Disabled Veteran Leave balance.
