Pay periods 2022

[Wildzeke]

I am seeing conflicting information. Will 2022 have 26 or 27 pay periods? This matters because if I retire 12/31/2022 will I be able to cash out up to 448 hours of A/L or not.

Actually, I think the answer is that use or lose goes by calendar year, and not end of pay year.

Employees must "use" their excess annual leave by the end of a leave year or they will "lose" (forfeit) it. The beginning and ending dates of the leave years shown below apply to most employees. However, some agency payroll systems use a different pay period schedule.
