S 630.606(c)(2) (1987). The Army may grant home leave during an employee's period of service abroad, or within a reasonable period after the employee's return from service abroad when it is contemplated, i.e., expected, that the employee will return to service a-broad immediately or on completion of a permanent assignment in the United States. DECISION The Chief, United States Army Civilian Personnel Center (Army), has requested our decision concerning its interpretation of the home leave regulation, 5 C.F.R. S 630.606(c)(2) (1987), in light of questions raised by different Army commands on the granting of home leave to employees who are transferred from overseas to United States duty stations. For the following reasons, we hold that the Army may grant home leave within a reasonable period after the employee's return from service abroad when it is expected that the employee will return to service abroad immediately or on completion of a permanent assignment in the United States. BACKGROUND According to the Army's submission, a question has arisen in connection with the authorization and use of home leave for groups of Army civilian employees who are employed under mandatory mobility agreements and who spend a considerable part of their careers on overseas assignments. Most of these employees are classified as Quality Assurance Specialists (Ammunition Surveillance) (QASAS) and serve under mobility agreements which allow for their assignment anywhere in the world according to the Army's need for their skills. /35?16
