1. On 30 Sept. 2021, you have 68.5 days of leave, which becomes your carry-over maximum. You accrued 15 days but you also took 20 days of leave in March 2022. On 31 March 2022, your LES shows a current balance (CR BAL) of 63.5 days, which was the minimum leave balance achieved throughout FY22. Your carry-over maximum SLA balance is now 63.5 days heading into FY23, this is because the amount will be reduced to a new level whenever the leave balance drops below the previously set level.
   1. Your March 2022 LES will reflect a USE/LOSE balance of 15.0 days. Below is how you should interpret your Use/Lose leave balance.
