Leave

Did you know that taking regular vacation may actually help you live longer and be more productive at work?

Or that taking sick leave when you're ill will help you recover faster and reduce the spread of illness?

There are many good reasons for you to take full advantage of the leave benefits offered by the Department of Commerce. As a Commerce employee, you may have a choice of work schedules, take various types of leave, and take 10 federal holidays a year.
