Overview
The electronic Commissioned Officer Resources Processing System (eCORPS) is the official leave record for all U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps officers. All officers are required to request and enter leave in eCORPS.
- All leave taken since Oct. 1, 2017 should be entered into eCORPS.
- Logging-in: Officer user names are posted on the OSA dashboard. You may use the password reset function on the eCORPS login screen if you do not have or have forgotten your password. Civilian users must obtain their user name and password from their CC Agency Liaison.
- Requesting Leave: All leave requests must be entered into eCORPS. All four workflow steps have to be completed for leave to fully process and be charged (officer leave request, Leave Authorizing Officer (LAO) leave approval, officer leave confirmation, and LAO confirmation).
- Requesting Terminal Leave: Terminal leave is annual leave. eCORPS does not currently have a “terminal leave” option, therefore this leave type is entered as annual leave. Please enter any requested leave that is considered terminal leave through the anticipated separation/retirement date into eCORPS. If your separation/retirement date is effective the 1st of the month, the final 2.5 days accrued will be added after your separation/retirement.
- Leave Balance Corrections after Oct. 1, 2017: Please verify that all four steps (officer leave request, LAO leave approval, officer leave confirmation, and LAO confirmation ) of the leave request process are complete.
- Leave Balance Corrections prior to Oct. 1, 2017: All leave data in the previous leave system, Direct Access, through Sept.30, 2017 was collected and entered into eCORPS. All existing unapproved leave requests in DA were auto-approved through Sept. 30, 2017. Please email AbsenceRequest@HHS.gov if there is a discrepancy in the leave balance brought over from DA.
Leave balance corrections may take 90 days to process.
