THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WAS H I N GTO N. 0.  . 2054,




      DATE: September 20, 1983


MATTER OF:    George McMillian


DIGEST: 1.


A civilian Government employee who was
a member of the Navy Reserve could not
properly be regarded as present for work
in his civilian position while he was
simultaneously on active duty as a
reservist, since civilian service is in-
compatible with military or naval active
duty status. Hence, even though the em-
ployee continued to report for civilian
work for several days after he was placed
on active Navy duty under orders for
annual Reserve training, his civilian
leave accounts must be charged with a -
day's leave of absence for each of those
days.


2. The 15 days of yearly military leave
    authorized for civilian Government em-
    ployees by 5 U.S.C. 6323(a) are charge-
    able on a calendar-day rather than a
    workday basis, except for days at the
    beginning or ending of the military
    active duty period, so that a civilian
    employee who was a Navy Reserve member
    must be charged with 3 days of military
    leave for a 3-day Labor Day weekend
    falling within a 12-day period when he
    was on active Navy duty for annual
    Reserve training.

3. A Federal agency should ordinarily charge
    an employee performing active training
    duty as a military or naval reservist
    with military leave until the employee's
    military leave entitlements under
    5 U.S.C. 6323(a) are exhausted, and the
    agency may then charge the employee with
    annual leave or leave without pay for any
    further absences from work taken for the
    purpose of performing additional periods
    of active training duty. An employee who
    took leaves of absence from his civilian
