How is vacation leave accrued while on military leave treated?

Vacation leave accrued while on military leave is treated as remaining subject to annual carryover rules. This indicates that even while a state police employee is on military leave, they continue to earn vacation leave in accordance with the same rules that apply to their regular work schedule. This allows the employee to accumulate vacation time that can be used in the future, consistent with the policies governing leave carryover.

This means that if an employee does not use all their vacation days within the specified timeframe, they can carry over that unused vacation leave into the subsequent year, similar to how it would be handled if they were not on military leave. Understanding this helps ensure that service members are not disadvantaged in terms of their leave accrual due to their military commitments.
