Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

[Decision Concerning DLA Employee's Request for Restoration of Annual Leave]

B-226927 Sep 25, 1987
Jump To:

Highlights

A Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) employee requested a decision concerning his claim for leave restoration. DLA restored 81 hours of leave he could not use because of a long illness at the end of the leave year, but disallowed restoration of 8 hours scheduled during an administratively declared legal holiday. GAO held that the claimant was also entitled to restoration of the remaining 8 hours of leave, since: (1) the claimant had timely scheduled his leave to avoid forfeiture; and (2) it was reasonable to presume that the claimant would have scheduled his leave to avoid forfeiture for the legal holiday. Accordingly, the claim was allowed.
