Types of Leave
The four most common types of leave are:
- Ordinary leave which is regular chargeable leave time,
- emergency leave which is processed more quickly due to an emergency situation but still treated as chargeable leave,
- convalescent leave which is non-chargeable and only allowed with a doctor's signature that states the servicemember cannot return to duty for an extended period of time,
- permissive TDY (Temporary Duty), which is non-chargeable and is only used while traveling between stations while using their leave for government related purposes. Servicemembers using PTDY (Permissive TDY) are not charged while on leave but are also not granted travel pay. Permissive TDY is typically used when PCSing (Permanent Change of Station) and can be granted to a service member when looking for a place to live. Typically for only 10 days.
- Excess Leave (see AR 600-8-10)
