In Feb, all of your original vacation days will remain but their value for pay purposes will be reduced by 21 hours for this example.

I swap the bank usage. VACB to cover APDs etc. because pay and credit applies so no 5 hour limit for GSs. Then bank credit over 80 in the full service bank to cover the vacation hours shortage later in JAN and FEB when GS are not likely.

I suspect not correct.

So say, you would have had a 72 hour line, but now it's just worth 51? Is your credit also 51?

Just completed the strategy this month. Can confirm a supervisor must put VACB code on your time card. I wasn’t able to specify which vacation week the pay/credit was pulled from. You can put VACB on top of an APD/PD/QPD but not IVD since there is already pay and credit associated with that.
