How the forecast works

1. Start with the actual balances from your most recent pay statement and the date those balances were accurate.

2. Add your biweekly leave accruals through the end of the leave year.

3. Deduct annual leave taken since the balance date and future planned leave.

4. Any projected annual leave above your chosen carryover limit is marked additional leave to use.

Other leave banks & expiration dates

Independent of annual carryover

Credit hours, restored leave and time-off awards are kept separate from annual leave. Confirm individual expiration dates and balances with your LES and facility.

Leave Activity

Record leave taken, upcoming time off, and balance corrections after your last pay statement. Use HH.MM (e.g., 1.30 means 1 hour 30 minutes).

Add a leave entry

Use HH.MM for durations (8.30 = 8h 30m); minutes must be 00–59. Add separate entries for multi-day leave.

Planned leave reduces the year-end forecast but does not change today's estimated balance. Mark it taken after it happens.

Calendar & Shifts

See regular shifts, planned leave and individually added overtime on your scheduled OFF days.

October 2026

Day shiftSwing shiftMid shiftRDO / OFFNo assigned shift Limited OT Status

Pay periods appear in the left margin beside Sunday. Labels use FAA payroll periods for 2026–2029.

Select a date to edit its shift or log leave. Mids belong to the FAA duty date (Saturday 2100–0700 starts Friday night); OT uses the actual start date. AL = annual leave · SL = sick leave · ILO = in-lieu holiday · RDO = regular day off.

MULTIPLE SHIFT LEAVE

Confirm leave entries

Review your selected shifts before saving.

Each selected date is saved as its own Leave Activity entry. This does not submit a leave request to the FAA.

DAY DETAILS

Selected day

Choose a date on the calendar.

01

Shift Override

Change this date only—for swaps and other changes. Your bidded weekly schedule stays the same.

HHMM (24-hour). Blank restores the repeating schedule. Enter mids under the duty date (e.g., Saturday 2100–0700 starts Friday at 2100).

02

Overtime Assignment

Add or edit one-time OT assignments on an OFF day.

No overtime

Select an OFF day to enter overtime.

OT uses its actual start date, including on scheduled workdays. Enter only the hours outside regular duty. 1500–1700 is 2 hours; 2200–0600 ends the next day.

03

Holiday Management

Federal holidays are always shown. Work shifts on those dates are automatically non-chargeable. Select the actual holiday to manually mark an in-lieu date.

Select Thanksgiving, Veterans Day, or another nearby federal holiday, then set the chosen duty day as your in-lieu holiday. No automatic in-lieu assignment is made.

Adjust holiday hours manually (special situations)

Normally the entire scheduled shift is non-chargeable on a federal or assigned in-lieu holiday. Only override this if your payroll designation covers fewer hours. Clear the override to restore automatic full-shift coverage.

Bidded Work Schedule

Enter your regular weekly shifts separately for each federal leave year. Manual day overrides are always applied on top of this schedule.

2026: Jan 11, 2026–Jan 9, 2027; 2027: Jan 10, 2027–Jan 8, 2028.
Important — FAA mid-shift duty date

A shift entered as Saturday 2100-0700 starts at 2100 on Friday and ends at 0700 on Saturday. Enter the mid under Saturday (the second calendar day), because the FAA treats it as your Saturday shift. Use OFF for RDOs; leave a field empty if the shift is unknown.

This schedule is a planning aid. Your actual FAA tour and local holiday designation take precedence.

Maximize Time Off

Plan leave around your priorities, compare several ranked recommendations, and review every suggested date before saving. Recommendations use your schedules, RDOs, holidays, overtime, and Limited OT weeks.

Plan Leave Around Your Goals

Tell Leave Compass what kind of time off you want. The free planning engine compares actual work shifts, RDOs, existing leave, holidays, and Limited OT weeks — no AI account or API needed.

Free · No AI charges
Supports next-year bidding before your next LES arrives.
Use your projected use-or-lose target or enter an AL goal.
Preferred vacation months

Check the months that suit you best. Leave all unchecked to consider the full selected date range. For federal leave years, January can occur at both ends of the year.

Must-Have Leave DatesIncluded in every plan

Add individual dates or a date range you absolutely need off. These dates take priority over preferred months and the usual planning date range. Existing AL is not charged a second time; RDOs and holidays are identified separately.

No required dates selected yet.

Whole chargeable shifts are included in every recommendation. You can review or remove a date before generating a plan.

A planning target is not a prediction of your future leave balance. For a later leave year, enter the hours you want to allocate during bidding. A full-shift selection is a suggestion, not an approved leave slot. Review and confirm dates before anything is added to your records.

Pay Tracker

Track calendar-year gross earnings, premium pay, and overtime directly from your DOT Earnings and Leave Statements.

Calendar year · Pay date
ⓘ
Pay year is not leave year. Pay Tracker assigns each LES to the calendar year of its Pay Date, regardless of the pay period ending date. For example, a January 2027 paycheck can include hours worked in December 2026. Upload pay PDFs through LES Import & Settings. Dollar amounts use dollars/cents; OT hours use HH.MM (hours/minutes).

Calendar-Year Pay Overview

Official YTD gross comes from the latest imported LES for the selected pay year. Category totals and OT hours include only the statements you've imported.

Official gross YTD—Import an LES to begin.
On-pace annual gross—Based on paychecks received.
Overtime Hours YTD—Only uploaded pay statements are included.

Gross YTD progress toward the Social Security wage-base benchmark

$0 / $192,3000%
Import an LES

Uses gross YTD and the paycheck count to estimate when gross pay will exceed the wage-base benchmark.

This is a gross earnings milestone, not a prediction of when Social Security (OASDI) withholding stops. Social Security-taxable earnings can differ from gross pay.

SSA annual wage-base amounts ↗

Advanced: enter a gross-pay snapshot manually

Use this only when a statement cannot be read. For normal PDF imports, go to LES Import & Settings.

Add a manual gross-pay snapshot

If a PDF cannot be read, enter the pay date and Gross Pay row here. For PDF imports, use LES Import & Settings. Manual snapshots support the YTD forecast but cannot establish premium-pay or overtime details unless those are imported from the LES.

Where Your Pay Comes From

Sum of current-period earnings from reconciled statements; FLSA Premium and True Overtime are shown together as Overtime. Imported categories are partial until all statements are present.

What Your Overtime Adds Up To

Based on imported True Overtime hours only (FLSA premium does not add extra hours). The Moon comparison uses Apollo 11’s approximately 76-hour one-way flight to lunar orbit.

The FAA doesn’t thank you for your service.

Paycheck History

One row per pay date. Importing the same pay date again replaces its existing statement only after confirmation.

Pay datePPGross currentOfficial gross YTDOT hoursSource
No pay statements imported for this year.
Pay Tracker terms: OASDI = Social Security tax (subject to an annual wage cap); Medicare tax has no wage cap. “Overtime” dollars combine True Overtime and FLSA Premium, but OT hours count True Overtime only.
Estimates are for personal planning, not payroll or tax advice. Retroactive raises, lump sums, awards, overtime fluctuations, and changes in premium pay may make a straight-line projection inaccurate. Review each LES, and use official payroll records for final figures. Your original PDFs are never uploaded. Extracted pay figures sync only when you select cloud payroll storage in My Account & Data.

LES Import & Settings

Import an official LES, review the balances and reconciliation, and configure accrual rates, leave-year dates, and other leave banks. Leave values follow HH.MM notation.

Import Earnings & Leave Statements

One secure import tool for leave balances, Pay Tracker, or both. Select one or several DOT LES PDFs; choose the destination separately for each statement before saving. PDFs are read on this device—only extracted leave and pay numbers are stored.

Local PDF reading
HH.MM = hours and minutes: 249.15 means 249 hours, 15 minutes. This is not decimal hours. Pay Tracker uses the calendar year of the pay date; leave balances use the FAA pay-period ending date and federal leave year.
1. Choose PDF files→2. Select each import destination→3. Review and save
Import up to 30 statements at once. Default: Pay Tracker only, so older LESs cannot accidentally change your latest leave balance.

Pay Statement Import Checklist

See which calendar-year paydays have a statement on file, which are missing, and which need review. Future paydays are not counted as missing.

LES Reconciliation History

Last 24 imports

When a newer LES is imported, compare the expected balance (from prior LES, accruals and recorded taken leave) with the actual new LES. A variance indicates an item to review, not necessarily a payroll error.

Leave Balance Snapshot

Copy the current balances directly from an official pay statement.

Use the pay period ending date reflected by these balances (not the pay date).

Leave Accrual Rates

Choose the accrual shown on your pay statement.

Leave Year Dates

Standard OPM dates are prefilled. Verify your specific payroll schedule.

Additional Leave Banks

Track these independently of annual leave. An award balance may be unclear on the LES; review it manually. Enter blank when unknown.

One deadline per bank is supported. If you have different restored-leave tranches or award expirations, track them separately in official records.

Review and Save

Your snapshot is the starting point for projections.

Pay periods: This tracker assumes accruals are credited at the end of 14-day periods anchored to the leave-year end date.

Six-hour accrual: Credits 10 hours (rather than 6) in the last pay period of the leave year.

Special rules: Leave transfers, restored leave, changes in your accrual rate, uncommon tours, or a personal leave ceiling may require a custom setting or balance adjustment.
