"UNSCHEDULED LEAVE" IS THE CALL WHEN SNOW FORCES SOME
EMPLOYEES TO STAY AT HOME

Washington, D.C. -- Effective immediately, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management will announce an "unscheduled leave" policy when weather or other emergency conditions may require the granting of annual leave without prior approval to non-emergency employees. The "unscheduled leave" policy replaces the "liberal leave" policy in order to eliminate confusion and make it clear to employees that they will be charged leave or leave-without-pay while absent from work. All other emergency announcements remain unchanged from last year.
