  • An accrual of 2.25 days (two days, one hour and 45 minutes) will be credited on the 16th day of each month while in active status.
  • Personal business and religious observance days must be charged to annual leave.  These days may no longer be charged to Cumulative Absence Reserve (CAR).
  • All workdays, including the summer, are seven hours and 15 minutes exclusive of a duty-free lunch.  Annual leave may be taken in whole days or partial increments.

CAR Procedures
