Highlights

A union requested a decision on behalf of several civilian employees of the Air Force as to whether the employees must be charged leave for nonworkdays at the beginning of a second tour of military duty which began the day after the first tour ended. The union contended that regulations prohibited charging nonworkdays at the beginning of a period of active duty to military or annual leave and that, in any case, the employees were on administrative leave since management mistakenly informed them that no annual leave would have to be taken. GAO held that, since the duty was continuous, the weekend fell within the period of active duty and, therefore, was chargeable to annual leave. GAO affirmed that it was proper to charge annual leave for the periods during which the employees were absent from their official duty stations whether or not they were informed of or had consented to the leave. Accordingly, the union's claim for restoration of annual leave was denied.
