PURPOSE:                The purpose of the Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) is to provide the employee with a biweekly                                            record of earnings, deductions, and leave information. The LES provides civilian employees with pertinent                                    and timely information. The form, designated as DFAS Form 1, is tailored to each employee, that is, only                                      earnings, deductions, and leave data applicable to the individual employee will be printed.

                                  Information printed will be textual, eliminating the need for the employee to refer to pay, deduction, or                                            leave codes. Remarks based on payroll and personnel actions processed during the pay period will also                                      print on the LES.

SORT SEQUENCE:  These statements are sorted by Defense Automated Printing Service Sites, then zip codes. See System                                      Processing number 5 for file printing sort.

FREQUENCY:          BI-WEEKLY. This report is generated at the end of the pay period.

DISTRIBUTION:       These statements are printed at various Defense Automated Printing Service Sites then mailed to the                                           employees.
