   break in service, under exigency certifi-
   cation, may not be restored to employee's
   lcave account under 5 U.S.C. 6304(d)(1).
   since advance scheduling requirement was
   not met and may not be waived. 56 Comp.
   Gen. 470 (1977).


              2. Employee being compensated for work related
                 idjury and cn rolis of Offic & of Workman's
                 Compensation Program  (OWCP), n ay not have
                 excess annual leave forfeited at end of leave

   the year. Instead, he opted to be paid a lump-sum for
