Excusing Employees on April 23, 1999
- Full-time or part-time employees
who are regularly scheduled to work in the affected
buildings on April 23 and can be excused from their usual
duties should be excused without loss of pay or charge to
leave. Work should not be scheduled for employees with
intermittent tours of duty on April 23.
- If an employee will be excused from duty on April 23, the
agency should cancel or reschedule overtime work that he
or she would otherwise perform during that period.
Pay Entitlements
- Employees with duty stations in the buildings located in
the closed area who are not excused from duty
because their services are required on April 23 will
receive the pay they normally would receive for working
during that period. Employees may not earn
compensatory time off or credit hours for work performed
during their basic tours of duty on April 23.
- Employees who are excused from duty on April 23 will
generally receive the pay they normally would have
received for that period, unless prohibited by law or
regulation.
Leave
- Paid leave previously approved for April 23 must be
canceled for employees who are granted excused absence on
April 23.
- Excused absence may not be granted to employees on
military leave or to employees in a leave without pay
(LWOP) or other nonpay status on April 23.
Employees on Alternative Work Schedules
- An employee on a flexible work schedule
who can be excused from duty should be excused for the
number of nonovertime hours the employee would otherwise
have worked.
- An employee on a compressed work schedule
who can be excused from duty should be excused for the
number of nonovertime hours the employee would otherwise
have worked.
- Nonworkdays for employees on alternative work schedules
(AWS) should be determined consistent with an agency's
internal policy or applicable collective bargaining
agreement. However, employees on AWS are not entitled to
another AWS day off "in lieu of" April 23,
1999.
Flexiplace Employees
- At their discretion, agencies may also grant excused
absence on April 23 to employees at a flexiplace worksite
if they cannot work productively without support or
contact with agency employees who have been granted
excused absence.
Employees Not Covered
- This guidance does not apply to employees of private
sector entities, including contractors. Contract
employees should contact their supervisor or contracting
officer to obtain information about their contract
provisions and the work schedule applicable to them.
- This guidance does not apply to Postal Service employees.
Postal Service employees should contact their servicing
personnel office for information about excused absence
for postal employees.
