This number is shown in the \u201cAL Advanced\u201d field of your pay statement.<\/p>\n<p>Each pay period that you earn annual leave, the advanced annual leave amount goes down by the exact number of annual leave hours that you actually earn.<\/p>\n<p>However, you don\u2019t get paid for any advanced annual leave when you retire or leave your job. You\u2019re only paid for the amount of leave that shows up in the \u201cEarned Annual Leave Balance\u201d field of your pay statement.<\/p>\n<p>If your earned annual leave balance is negative, you\u2019ll receive a bill for \u201coverdrawn leave,\u201d which means you\u2019ve used more annual leave than you\u2019ve earned.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to retire or leave USPS this year, the organization wants you to pay attention to your \u201cEarned Annual Leave Balance.\u201d Remember: If the number goes negative, the Postal Service will mail you an invoice to pay back your overdrawn leave.<\/p>\n<p>USPS is distributing a stand-up talk on advanced annual leave this week.
