Carrying over leave

[Soon To Leave]

You should always apply for leave when you want. If rejected this will be recorded and has some effect on AFPRB's awards.

Diddicult for us though as we self auth our leave. therefore we never put it in if we cant get it.

I self auth also. I just pick the days and book them before copying to the section planner. If for some reason the hierarchy decide I shouldn't take my leave as planned, I fill in a JPA R002 detailing the additional abscence details and authority additional information at the bottom of Part A before getting my Sqn Ldr to fill in Part B.

This is the preferred route for self authorisers. You should not be referring to Manning Charts or take anything else into consideration before filling in your Abscence Request for the leave dates you want on JPA. Cancellations of requested leave must be captured to give evidence to RAFPB that there are times we are refused leave when we want to take it.

Don't let your management chain push you into doing anything else as you distort the real picture by giving the impression we can always take leave when we want to, and the need to carry over leave is down to our own bad planning. You may require this 'evidence' to back up your reasons for carrying over leave particularly over the 15 days normally allowed.
