SUMMARY:  Congress has voted to override President Trump’s veto of the FY 20201 National Defense Authorization Act, which contains a provision to allow federal employees to carryover additional unused annual leave.       

            Today, the Senate joined the House in voting to override the president’s veto of the FY 2021 NDAA.  This ensures the enactment of several provisions that will benefit federal employees, including one that would permit most federal employees to carry over an additional 25% of annual leave into 2021 (60 additional hours). 

            I am pleased that Congress has recognized the dedicated service of federal employees by ensuring you can keep additional leave you earned but were unable to take during the pandemic.
