E-Leave Eases Leave Routing

Navy News Service

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- With the July 4 holiday right around the corner and summer travel season underway, Navy officials reminded Sailors June 28 about the ease of using the electronic leave (E-Leave) system.

"The best thing about E-leave is that you can track it easily," said Personnel Specialist 1st Class Lacey Burns, career progression department, Navy Personnel Command (NPC). "I've had a lot of paper leave chits lost at previous commands, or had trouble finding out where they were in the approval process, and then had to route a new one. With E-leave, you don't have to worry about any of that."

E-Leave allows Sailors to electronically submit leave requests through their chain-of-command for approval, replacing the traditional paper leave form, and has significantly reduced the timeframe for routing a leave request.

"It's a much faster process," said Personnel Specialist 2nd Class LeAnne Millious, full-time support and Selected Reserves conversion desk case worker at NPC. "I had to take emergency leave when a family member passed away and I was able to get the request routed in less than an hour through E-leave."

As directed by NAVADMIN 252/10, shore commands and submarine forces began using E-Leave to process leave requests by Aug. 1 and Oct. 1, 2010, respectively.

"E-Leave ensures pay and entitlements are properly accounted for with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS)," said John Courtney, Navy electronic leave program manager. "Commands have full visibility in the system to identify the status of any Sailor's request and can easily track and account for all Sailors on leave."

Sailors, reviewers, and approvers have access to E-Leave through common access card (CAC) log-in on the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System (NSIPS) website at https://nsips.nmci.navy.mil.
