Vacation Pay is not listed as “Credit” on one’s time card but it does count towards the GS trigger. How much credit you have in a month determines your Max pickup (or how much you can white slip). The amount of credit you have for the determines whether you can deposit hours to the Full Service Bank or pay back negative bank.

When something is classified as “pay, no credit” it just means you will be paid for that amount. You cannot put it in the Full Service Bank or pay back a negative bank with it.

When talking about a specific trip, there are many kinds of “credit.” Deadhead, Trip, ADG etc. Trip credit is always applied on the last day of the trip. Deadhead is paid on the day flown. I should know but am not sure about ADG.
