I think technically no because you're still in the military until your separation date. However in all practicality yes. I had about 8 weeks of terminal leave. It was closer to 10 weeks when you factored in time for out processing etc. I did some weekends (moonlighting) at my new job during my terminal leave towards my official start date for full time employment. I did not start full time until after my leave was up. I did this primarily because I wanted a bit of a break. Unless you are pressed for cash, take the time off. I was really productive during that time with the move and transition and vacation.
