Regular Carrier SL and AL Earned

[Old Fart]

Hi everyone, sorry for the basic questions but can't locate in database anywhere. Carriers are asking me questions!

How much AL is advanced each year? How many years employment and where are the higher levels? Can AL be earned beyond allocated amount at the beginning of the year?

How much sick leave is advanced each year? When does that amount increase? How much do carriers earn past the initial allocation? Does that increase with increased time as a regular?

Thanks in advance. Perhaps Old Fart has memory issues.

Every employee earns .5 day SL a pay period, none is advanced. AL is advanced at beginning of leave year. Regular carriers earn 13 days AL the first 2 yrs, then 20 AL beginning with 3rd yr, then 26 AL beginning 15th yr.

Thank you both!

Have several carriers of varied tenure from our offices asking as management just blows them off.

Mine are both heavily banked so I didn't really follow exactly what's added.

Can AL be earned beyond allocated amount at the beginning of the year?

No, it cannot. It is advanced prorated to whatever you would be at the end of the year.

How much sick leave is advanced each year?

No SL is advanced. SL is a

When does that amount increase?

At the increments listed in ELM 512.311

How much do carriers earn past the initial allocation?

None. The years worth is fronted in January
Does that increase with increased time as a regular?
Again… ELS 512.311

Thanks in advance. Perhaps Old Fart has memory issues.

and it's prorated based upon changes in your leave category

know a clerk who was advanced a ton of sick leave... took her a couple of years to repay...

That is for an emergency situation & must be approved by the Postmaster. It does have to be worked off so there is no earned SL until it is paid back.
