months) and spread his or her pay over a 12-month period.
Under the 10/12 or 11/12 pay plan, a portion of the
employee's money is reserved (banked) each month to provide
pay and continue eligible benefits during his or her month(s)
off. Movement to or from the 10/12 or 11/12 pay plans is
done with a Staff Action Form.

and sick leave) for each pay period in pay status.
