handle is hein.gao/gaobacupx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Office of Washington, DC 20548 General Counsel In Reply Referto: B-196609 JAN 17 1980 Mr. Kieth W. Van Laarhoven Vice President Local 1778 American Federation of Government Q - Employees Box 278 Wrightstown, New Jersey 06562 Dear Mr. Van Laarhoven: We refer further to your letter of October 22, 1979, concerning the 8 hours of annual leave charged Mr. Charles Smith, an employee of the Department of the Air Force, McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. You state that on February 20, 1979, due to adverse weather conditions, McGuire Air Base was closed to all employees except for category A type weather essential personnel. You state that as Mr. Smith was classified as B type weather essential personnel and as he could not leave his residence because of heavy snow accumulations, he did not report for work. The correspondence you enclosed shows that the Commander, 438th Organizational Maintenance Squadron, McGuire Air Force Base, advised you on July 27, 1979, that McGuire Air Force Base was open for designated weather essential personnel on February 20, 1979, and that since Mr. Smith had been designated weather essential, he was required to report for duty or be charged leave for his absence. The Commander also noted that Mr. Smith had previously requested 8 hours of annual leave for February 20, 1979, which request was approved by his supervisor. You were further advised that after reviewing all the facts in the matter, management had determined that the charge of 8 hourst annual leave was proper. You believe that the Air Force should have granted Mr. Smith 8 hours of administrative leave for his absence and that such leave should be substituted for the charge to his annual leave account. Although an official decision is not being rendered we are providing the following information.
