Home leave is special leave earned in one-day increments (rather than hours like annual or sick leave). In most of Europe, eligible employees earn home leave at the rate of 5 days per year. An employee must have served continuously at least one 24-month period at an overseas post before home leave can be used. Home leave must be taken in the U.S. or its territories or possessions. Home leave may only be used if the employee will return to duty at an overseas area.
