The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides its employees with a generous leave policy. SSA employees earn 13 days of sick leave each year, and they can carry over any unused sick leave from year to year. Vacation leave is earned on a sliding scale, with employees accruing 4 hours per pay period worked. Vacation leave can be accumulated up to a maximum of 480 hours.
