submitted 58 years ago by Pub. L. 90-588 to r/title-5-GOVERNMENT-ORGANIZATION-AND-EMPLOYEES · 168 words · no verdicts yet
Certain Federal and District of Columbia employees may take up to three days without losing pay or other listed benefits to arrange or attend services for an immediate relative who died from qualifying combat-zone wounds, disease, or injury. OPM may issue regulations, and the section preserves other administrative-leave authority.
(a) An executive-agency employee or District of Columbia Government employee is entitled to no more than three days of leave without loss or reduction of pay, otherwise available leave, service credit, or performance rating to arrange or attend the funeral or memorial service of an immediate relative who died from wounds, disease, or injury incurred while serving in the Armed Forces in a combat zone determined by the President under section 112 of the Internal Revenue Code.
(b) The Office of Personnel Management may issue implementing regulations.
(c) Except for the matters and conditions covered here, this section does not affect an Executive agency’s power to grant administrative leave when the public interest requires excusing an employee from work.
An employee of an executive agency or an individual employed by the government of the District of Columbia is entitled to not more than three days of leave without loss of, or reduction in, pay, leave to which he is otherwise entitled, credit for time or service, or performance or efficiency rating, to make arrangements for, or attend the funeral of, or memorial service for, an immediate relative who died as a result of wounds, disease, or injury incurred while serving as a member of the Armed Forces in a combat zone (as determined by the President in accordance with section 112 of the Internal Revenue Code).
The Office of Personnel Management is authorized to issue regulations for the administration of this section.
This section shall not be considered as affecting the authority of an Executive agency, except to the extent and under the conditions covered under this section, to grant administrative leave excusing an employee from work when it is in the public interest.
