What is the expected timeframe on when I should expect money for selling my leave days?

Re/enlisted mid October submitted contract and 3340 to finance on 20Oct. LES reflected leave days sold and amount owed to me 25Oct. EOM pay hit today and the money hasn't hit yet, just confused on when the funds would be processed to me. Should I go back to finance or should I wait until after mid month LES comes out and see what happens.

Processing sold leave usually takes 2-4 weeks.

I assume you saw it show up under the 'remarks' and not 'entitlements' on your LES. I would give it to the mid-month if you saw that it was processed but not added to your entitlements.

Selling leave days can be a bit of a waiting game sometimes. In my experience, it usually takes a couple of pay cycles for the money to hit your account after you see it on your LES. I'd say give it until after the mid-month LES, and if you still don't see the funds, then maybe check with finance.

You might have to wait a month.
