SUBJ: LEAVE BALANCE GUIDANCE FOR END OF FISCAL YEAR 2019
A. Military Assignments and Authorized Absences, COMDTINST M1000.8 (series)
B. U.S. Code, Title 10, Section 701
1. To avoid leave balance issues at the end of the fiscal year, commands and supervisors are
directed approve or disapprove all pending Direct Access (DA) absence requests by COB
16SEP19. Requests submitted after this date must be approved or denied immediately. Military
members should check their DA account to ensure all pending requests have been cleared prior
to the deadline. Additionally, commands and supervisors can view pending leave by ATU and
Department on the Excel report located at:
https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/ppc/HRBA/Reports_Various/Forms/AllItems.aspx
2. Military members are only authorized to carry over a maximum of 60 days of leave into the
next fiscal year per references (a) thru (c). All pending absence requests (leave), to be completed
prior to the end of the fiscal year, will be auto-approved on 18SEP19. This includes non-
chargeable leave that is in a pending status. With more than 11,800 pending absence requests in
DA, this effort will significantly reduce leave balance errors and minimize the impact on
members from both losing leave (leave adjusted to 60 days) and also being charged in FY20 for
leave taken in FY19.
3. Directions on how to view a complete list of pending absence requests can be found on PPC’s
website at: https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/ppc/RoboHelp/DAGP/AbsenceRequest/MonitorAbsenceRequest
Report.aspx. Additional information for members, commands, and SPOs on how to correct,
modify and/or delete absence requests is available at the following website:
