Are You a Member of the Voluntary Leave Transfer Program?
Vol.10 Issue 1
VLTP

The Voluntary Leave Transfer Program (VLTP) is open to any full or part-time employees, whether on temporary or permanent status. The VLTP is a program that eases the financial burden for any employee that has a medical emergency or needs to care for a family member with a medical emergency. Leave recipients are employees who must be absent from duty for a prolonged period of time due to a medical condition that causes a substantial loss of income.

The program allows employees to voluntarily donate annual or sick leave to another federal employee (excluding your immediate supervisor) who is experiencing a medical emergency and has exhausted their available paid leave. Leave donors can be an FAA employee or from another federal agency, however certain restrictions apply. Participating as a leave recipient in the VLTP is a temporary measure until the employee is able to return to work within a reasonable period of time, or if the employee is approved for disability retirement. Participation in the VLTP is limited to one year from the effective date of the leave recipient’s enrollment.

In order to become a leave recipient you must use the FAA Online Voluntary Emergency Leave Transfer System.
