The Comptroller General
of the United States
Washington, D.C. 20548
Decision



         Anthony J. Sarni, et al. - Administrative Leave -
Matter of- Employees on Annual Leave when Agency Grants Early
         Dismissal Due to Hurricane
File:    B-226064

Date:    August 1O, J97


DIGEST

Following a late evening return from a temporary duty
assignment in Virginia, several employees of the Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, Naval Shipyard took annual leave the next
day. While these employees were on annual leave, most
employees were dismissed at noon because of a hurricane and
given 4 hours administrative leave. The employees on annual
leave were charged annual leave for the entire day, but
claim entitlement to 4 hours administrative leave on the
basis that they had intended to schedule only 4 hours of
annual leave and would have reported for duty but for the
early dismissal. Since none of the employees on leave
informed the agency that they would be reporting for duty at
any time that day, the agency reasonably applied the leave
regulations by placing the employees in an annual leave
status for the entire shift.


DECISION

Mr. Rodney A. Bower, President of the International
Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (the
union), Silver Spring, Maryland, has requested our decision
regarding the entitlement to administrative leave of several
members of his organization who are U.S. Navy civilian
employees at the Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Naval Shipyard.
The matter concerns entitlement to such leave when most
employees at their duty station were dismissed from work at
noon and those on a later shift were advised not to come to
work due to severe weather conditions.1/ For the reasons to
follow, the employees are not entitled to receive adminis-
trative leave.



1/  The matter was submitted to us pursuant to Title 4, Code
of Federal Regulations, Part 22, which regulations govern
requests for Comptroller General decisions on appropriated
fund expenditures which are of mutual concern to agencies
and labor organizations.
