Leave and Earnings Statement

Electronic Distribution of Leave and Earnings Statements

Employees receive their LES information electronically through the online Employee Express system at www.employeeexpress.gov. Hard copy LESs are printed and mailed only to employees who have obtained waivers. The following reasons meet the criteria for a waiver:

  1. No access to an agency computer with internet service;
  2. No access to a printer which would allow for privacy when printing the LES; and
  3. No access to Employee Express (e.g., employees under a dual appointment with two different agencies do not have access to Employee Express).

Employees in the following categories are automatically provided a hard copy LES:

  1. Employees in offices barred from internet access.
  2. Employees new to the DOI will receive a hard copy LES for a specified amount of time deemed by the agency. Thereafter, employees will receive the LES through Employee Express.
  3. Individuals separated from employment with the DOI will receive their final LESs in hard copy.
  4. Groups of employees without access to computers (e.g., seasonal firefighters) as identified and approved in writing by the office head. A copy of this approval must be provided to a bureau/office servicing personnel office so the waivers can be entered into FPPS. Employees can stop receiving the hard copy LES in two ways: (1) provide a written request to their servicing personnel office to discontinue receipt of the hard copy LES; or (2) press the “Hard Copy Off” button on the LES screen in Employee Express.

If you need further information or guidance, please contact your servicing personnel office.
