Annual Leave Deferral
Effective immediately, employees separating from service may elect to make a tax deferred contribution from their unused annual leave payout instead of receiving a lump sum payment. They may contribute up to 100 % of the annual leave payout (minus Social Security and Medicare taxes), within the annual IRS limits on elective deferrals based on the age/service of the employee and the calendar year in which the contribution is to be made.
