Course Overview
Federal employees have several different service computation dates, such as leave, retirement, within-grade increases, Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), and Reduction in Force (RIF). These dates determine how much leave an employee will earn, when they will be vested in the TSP, when they will be eligible for step increases and retirement, as well as their retention standing in the event of an RIF.
