Each year we publish a comprehensive leave record that federal employees can use to track their annual and sick leave, comp, and credit hours used. Our updated 2023 Excel Leave Chart is designed for active federal employees that are planning their retirement and need to establish realistic target retirement dates. This spreadsheet also helps federal employees maximize their annuity through prudent management of their leave balances.

I would like to thank two federal employees that beta tested this new version, Daniel and Shauna. Daniel provided significant formatting and content updates that added more functionality to the spreadsheet.

The 2023 leave year has 27 pay periods.

Please share our 2023 leave chart with everyone in your organization. It includes the Juneteenth national holiday. The chart tracks all leave balances, and you are able to annotate your work schedule on the chart as well. Simply download the spreadsheet to your desktop for easy access.

Download the 2023 Leave Chart

• 2023 Leave & Schedule Excel Chart (xls) 97-2003 version
• 2023 Leave & Schedule Excel Chart (xlsx) workbook version

If your spreadsheet opens in protected view click the “enable editing” button in the yellow bar at the top of the form. However, if you don’t see the enable editing button you may have an older version of Excel or your IT department may have to allow the form to pass without restrictions. We also included a newer slsx workbook version that you can use if you have problems with the earlier version.

A Microsoft Office consulting firm suggested using the newer slsx version. If that doesn’t correct the problem, talk with your IT staff. Some agencies increase their security settings to lock out certain documents based on set parameters. We include several hyperlinks in our spreadsheet to link users to additional supporting information such as our sick leave conversion chart and that may be the cause.
