Low Leave Balance Counseling

Purpose of Counseling

Request for Leave Regarding Low Current Balance on Soldier's Leave and Earnings Statement.


Key Points Discussion

The purpose of this counseling session is to discuss the current balance of your opportunity leave as indicated on your Leave and Earnings Statement (LES).

A low balance on your LES may have implications for future events, such as emergency leave requests. It is probable that a request would not be approved by the company commander due to the low balance on your LES. In rare cases where leave is approved, despite the low balance, it will reflect as negative.

Should your leave balance become negative, you will be unable to take ordinary leave until your balance is restored to a positive amount on your LES.

Reference regarding Leaves and Passes will be under AR 600-8-10.


Plan of Action

- Ensure SM has read and understood statement regarding low current balance on LES.
