handle is hein.gao/gaobadcqz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: OEVCISION FILE: B-18512 MATTER OF: 3 I 31975 DATE: DEC 3 q Satwant Singh Bajwa - Administrative Leave DIGEST: Employee of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission may not be granted administrative leave to participate in the Pan American Games as a member of the United States Field Hockey Team. This matter is a request for a decision submitted by the Controller of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The issue presented is whether a Commission employee may be granted administrative leave for the time spent as a member of a United States' team participating in the Pan American Games. Mr. Satwant Singh Bajwa, an employee of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, of the Commission was selected as a member of the field hockey team representing the United States at the Pan American Games that were held from October 5 through 28, 1975, in M1exico City, Mexico. The Chairman of the United States OlmpLc Field Hockey Committee requested that Hr. Bajwa be granted admin- istrative leave for the period of his participation in the Games. Instead, Mr. Bajwa was granted annual leave, and the issue was submitted to this Office for decision. Administrative leave may be defined as the excusing of Federal employees without loss of pay or charge to annual or sick leave accounts, for periods during which they perform no official duties. No general statutory authority exists for granting administrative leave, however, 5 U.S.C. H§ 6321 through 6326 (1970), authorize grants of such leave in specific cases, none of which are relevant here. The Civil Service Commission has issued regulations and guidelines governing the authority of agencies to excuse employees for specific reasons not authorized by statute. The guidelines for employees paid at daily, hourlystor piecework rates are found in 5 C.F.R. Part 610, subpart C. The guidelines for other employees are found in the Federal Personnel Manual, chapter 630, subchapter 11 and FPM Supplement 990-2, Book 630, subchapter Sll. In all of the cases discussed, the absences for which employees are to be excused are of short duration, and none would be applicable here. 00 -&1.
