Which term indicates the remaining paid leave available to the employee?

• A. Travel indebtedness
• B. SGLI
• C. Meal deductions
• D. Leave balance

Answer: (D)

The term for the remaining paid leave an employee can use is called the leave balance. It’s the running total of earned leave minus leave already taken, so it shows how much paid time off you still have available. As you accrue more leave or take time off, the balance increases or decreases accordingly. The other terms refer to unrelated concepts—travel indebtedness relates to travel advances or debt, SGLI is life insurance, and meal deductions are payroll deductions for meals—so they don’t indicate how much paid leave remains.
