cancel any previously scheduled leave.

The mandatory five-day vacation leave shall be forfeited if not taken during

in the exigency of the service by the head of the agency, the scheduled
leaves not enjoyed shall no longer be deducted from the total accumulated
vacation leave.

completing the calendar year, do not warrant forfeiture of the
corresponding leave credits if the concerned employees opted not to avail
of the required five-day mandatory vacation leave.

Those with accumulated vacation leave of less than ten (10) days shall have
the option to go on forced leave or not. However, officials and employees
with accumulated leave credits of 15 days who availed monetization for 10
days, shall still be required to go on forced leave.

e. Terminal Leave
Terminal leave is applied for by an official or an employee who intends to
sever his connection with his employer. Accordingly, the filling of
application or terminal leave requires a condition sine qua non, the
employee’s resignation, retirement, or separation from the service without
any fault on his part. It must be shown first that public employment ceases
by any of the said modes of severances.
Request for payment of terminal leave benefits must be made within ten
(10) from the time right of action accrues upon an obligation created by law.
Payment of terminal leave for purposes of retirement or voluntary
resignation shall be based on the highest monthly salary received at any
time during his period of employment in the government service and not on
his latest salary, unless the latter is the highest received by the retiree.
Computation of terminal leave. The terminal leave benefits shall be
computed as follows:

TLB = SxDxCF

Where:

TLB – Terminal Leave Benefits

S – Highest salary received
D – No. of accumulated vacation and sick leave credits
CF – constant factor is 0.0478087

This Formula took effect on January 15, 1999

The official/employees who is on terminal leave does not earn any leave
credits as he is already out of the service. While on terminal leave, he
merely enjoys the benefits derived during the time of such employment.
Consequently, he is no longer entitled to the benefits or salary increases
that may be granted thereafter.
