The Secretary is advised that there is no authority to grant administrative leave under these circumstances. Further, the office of Personnel Management regulations state that an employee should remain in a duty status during the advance notice period. DECISION BACKGROUND The Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Financial Management) on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy has requested our decision on the issue of whether the Navy may, by regulation, authorize administrative leave up to 30 days to employees who are notified of a reduction in force (RIF). For the reasons that follow, we conclude that there is no authority to issue such regulations. The Navy has been evaluating its personnel policies and practices in a number of areas in order to operate its industrial facilities in a more cost effective and productive manner. Thus, the Navy is concerned that employees who are given 30 days advance notice of a RIF and who remain on duty may cause morale problems or become a disruptive influence on the workforce. Therefore, the Navy wishes to place the employees on administrative leave for the 30-day RIF notice period prescribed by 5 C.F.R. S 351.807 (1986), instead of retaining them on active duty.
