Wash ngton, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof- U.S. Park Police File: B-223674 Date: March 23, 1987 DIGEST U.S. Park Policeman injured in the performance of duty and assigned to light duty for 4 hours a day continues in a pay status for and accrues leave based on a full 8-hour workday under 5 U.S.C. S 6324. When that officer requests a week of annual leave, he should be charged 40 hours rather than 20 hours of annual leave. Section 6324 does not preclude the charging of annual or sick leave for absences unrelated to the injury which occurred in the performance of duty. DECISION The National Park Service has requested an opinion concerninc the manner in which annual and sick leave should be charged to the account of a member of the U.S. Park Police force who is assigned to a light-duty status as the result of an injur which occurred in the performance of his official duties. With the qualifications stated below, it is our view that an officer on light duty who is absent for the entire period he is scheduled to work should be charged leave for the hours hE is scheduled to be on light duty as well as for the remaindet of the full workday for which he receives compensation under 5 U.S.C. § 6324. BACKGROUND Section 6324 of title 5 of the United States Code provides that: * * * sick leave may not be charged to the account of a member of the Metropolitan Police force or the Fire Department of the District of Columbia, the United States Park Police force, or the Executive Protective Service force for an absence due to injury or illness resulting from the performance of duty.
