    MATTER OF: National Guard Technicians--Military Leave


    DIGEST:

          Civilian employees who are reservists
          of the uniformed service or are National
          Guardsmen who perform active duty for
          training, are charged military leave on
          a calendar-day basis, and there is no
          authority for allowing the charging of
          military leave in increments of less
          than 1 day, regardless of the type of
          schedule the employee may work.

     This action is in response to a request for
clarification of the provisions for charging of military
leave for technician employees of the National Guard.!/
The technicians are currently charged leave on a calendar-
day basis, regardless of the number of scheduled hours in
their workday.

     Military leave for reservists of the uniformed services
and National Guardsmen who are civilian employees of the
Federal Government or the District of Columbia is provided
by statute. See 5 U.S.C. S 6323. Reservists and Guardsmen
are entitled to leave without loss of pay, time or perform-
ance or efficiency rating for up to 15 days in a fiscal
year, for training. 5 U.S.C. S 6323(a). If called upon to
provide military aid to enforce the law, they are entitled
to additional military leave, not to exceed 22 days, for
such service. 5 U.S.C. S 6323(b).

     The National Guard Bureau asks whether its current
procedure of charging military leave for active duty for
training, on a calendar-day basis is proper. We hold that
military leave charged pursuant to 5 U.S.C. S 6323(a),
is properly being charged on a calendar-day basis.

     Director of Personnel, National Guard Bureau,
     Departments of the Army and Air Force, Falls Church,
     Virginia.
