               the continental United States for assign-
               ment in Puerto Rico. Thus, she is
               eligible to accrue the 45 days of annual
               leave authorized by 5 U.S.C. S 6304(b)(1)
               for individuals recruited or transferred
               from the United States or its territories
               or possessions for employment outside the
               area of recruitment or from which trans-
               ferred.

           2. Employee who qualifies for maximum annual
               leave accumulation of 45 days under
               5 U.S.C. S 6304(b)(1), and has completed

               basis of her continuous service. Al-
               though rate at which employee earned
               home leave was subject to agency inter-
               pretation of implementing regulations at
               5 C.F.R. S 630.604, agency's total denial
               of statutory home leave accrual entitle-
               ment was improper. However, the agency
               has discretion as to when and in what
               amount home leave may be granted.

           3. Employee recruited from her place of

               requirements under 5 U.S.C. S 5728(a) is
               entitled to tour renewal agreement
