EEOC - Holiday Pay - Furlough File: B-224619 Date: August 17, 1987 DIGEST Employees placed on furlough for a period including both the workday preceding and the workday succeeding a holiday are not entitled to holiday pay. They have been removed from duty without expectation of pay and there is no longer a presumption that, but for the holiday, they would have worked on that day. However, agencies are cautioned not to indiscriminately furlough employees for periods when holidays occur. DECISION The Management Director, on behalf of the Chairman, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), requests an opinion as to whether an employee who is placed on furlough status before and after a paid holiday would be entitled to pay for the holiday. For the reasons that follow, we hold that the employee would not be entitled to such pay. BACKGROUND The EEOC states that, if it carries out its proposal to furlough its employees, it will follow the prescribed adverse action procedures in 5 U.S.C. SS 7512 and 7513 (1982). However, the EEOC asks the question about entitlement to pay for a holiday because of an interpretation by the General Services Administration (GSA), the agency charged with administering its payroll, on the status of the furlough days and the effect of our decision B-222836, May 8, 1986. The submission does not fully explain the rationale behind GSA's interpretation. However, we do not feel that such an explanation is necessary in order for us to respond to the question as posed by EEOC. 039L'1
