Federal employees can now access their most current annual and sick leave balances, credit hours and other benefits via their smartphones, thanks to a new application developed by GEICO.
The new GEICO federal leave mobile app allows users to access their most current annual leave balances, credit hours and complimentary time as well as calculate leave accrual rates and account for sick days out of the office. The app -- which was developed with tech-savvy feds in mind -- also enables users to send information on their mobile leave record via e-mail and connect with other federal employees on Facebook.
