ichael  Dana at al. - Restoration of forfeited
annual leave

Annual leave forfeited at end of 1974 leave
year allegedly due to exigencies of the public
business but not scheduled in advance may not
be restored under 5 U.S.C. 6304(d)(1), even if
employees did not have actnal notice of sched-
uling requirement and it was known in advance
that leave would not be granted if scheduled.
Scheduling is a statutory requirement which may
not be waived and failure to give actzal notice
of this requirement is not administrative error
since employees are charged with constructive
notice of it.


     By letter dated August 2. 1976, from its Assistant Administrator,
General Counsel, Mr, Thomas J. Madden,'the Law Enforcement As-
sistance Administration (LEAA), United States Department of Justice,
.equests our opinion as to whether annual leave forfeited at the
end of the 1974 leave year by five of its employees.may be restored
under the provisions 5 U.S.C. 6304(d)(1). The agency's letter, in
pertitnent part, reads as follows:

          The five applicants are Michael Dana, Alison
          Eliason,  Luke G. Galant, Rufus Johnson, and
          Michael Favicchio.  The latter four employees
          participated in a LEAA sponsored aix-week
          training program starting on or about April 6,
          1974.  At  the conclusion of the training pro-
          gram,  each of the four was immediately detailcd
          as  a LEAA Field Service Representative to local
          units of general government participating in the
          LEAA  sponsored In tiative.Oriented Technical As-.
          'sistaUce (IOTA) program. The four participated
          in  the IOTA program through January 1975 for the
          purpose of providing the trainees with practical
          experience relating to the reality of .the State
          and  local criminal justice system structures and
          an opportunity to apply the previous six-week
          training to an on-site work experience. Partic-
          ipaition by the four employous in the six-week
