Civilian Employee Benefits


Overview
As a Federal employee, the benefits available to you represent a significant piece of your compensation package. They may provide important insurance coverage to protect you and your family, and/or, in some cases, offer tax advantages that reduce the burden in paying for some health products and services, or dependent or elder care services.

The purpose is to provide you basic information about the benefits offered to you as a Federal employee, and assist you in making informed choices about these benefits as you move through your career and prepare for retirement.

In addition to your Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or Federal Employees Retirement System benefits and the Thrift Savings Plan, the Federal government offers five benefits programs to eligible employees and retirees:
SICK AND ANNUAL LEAVE
Sick Leave is accrued at 4hours per pay period regardless of time of service.  Annual leave is accrued at different rates according to time of service:
  • 4 hours per pay period - 0 to 3 years
  • 6 hours per pay period - 3 to 15 years
  • 8 hours per pay period - 15+ years
No leave is accrued when LWOP or AWOL reaches 80 hours in a pay period.  Intermittent employees do not earn annual or sick leave.  Part-time employees must have a regularly scheduled tour of duty in order to earn leave.  Leave is earned according to guidance found in AFI 36-815, chapters 2 and 3.  Address questions on sick or annual leave to your local or servicing Civilian Personnel Flight.
