                        THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION                OF  THE   UNITED STATES

MATTER  OF


DIGEST:


4545               DAE:   April 28, 1980

   Arthur\ . Quillo     storation of
   forfeited annual leave - Reconsideration

Absent timely and written request
for scheduling of leave subject to
forfeiture, employee in Vietnam at
end of 1974 leave year who forfeited
124 hours of annual leave may not
have leave restored under public
exigency provisions of 5 U.S.C.
6304(d)(1)(B).  Agency's responsi-
bility for scheduling leave is such
that it must approve and schedule
leave either at time requested by
employee or at some other -time.
While agency's failure to schedule
requested leave may constitute
administrative error, in general,
agency's responsibility arises only
when employee has made formal and
timely request for leave.

sustained the disallo  nce by-sur Claims-Divisica of
Mr. Arthur E. Quillo's claim for restoration of leave under
5 U.S.C. 6304(d)(1)(B) (1976). Upon appeal, Mr. Qu=  o
contend  that the denial of his claim based on his failure
to submit a formal and timely request for scheduling the
leave subject to forfeiture did not take into account the
Navy's treatment of similar claims or its responsibility
to assure the proper scheduling of his leave. For the
reasons that follow, we find -that neither of these argu-
ments provides a basis for restoration of the 124 hours
of annual leave he forfeited at the end of the 1974 leave
year.

     On November 13, 1974, the Chief, Personnel Divsion,
issued a memorandum setting forth the determination of the
Defense Attache in Saigon, Vietnam, that exigencies of the
public service during the 1974 leave year had been such
that some assigned employees had been and would be pre-
cluded from using their accrued leave. The instruction
