Hodges - Restoration of Forfeited Annual Leave File: B-223250 Date: August 27, 1987 DIGEST During 1984, a Department of Energy employee was detailed to perform work for a Congressional Subcommittee. He was unable to take annual leave, a vacation to Europe, due to the work he was performing for the Subcommittee, and he forfeited 77 hours of annual leave. While the regulation, 5 C.F.R. S 630.308 (1984), states that the use of annual leave must be scheduled in advance in writing, the statutory provision, 5 U.S.C. S 6304(d)(1)(B) (1982), does not specifically require that a written request be made by the employee. Here, the claimant was detailed to work for a Subcommittee of the Congress for an extended period of time. He scheduled the use of his annual leave, in advance, in a timely manner and such use was approved by Subcommittee officials. In these circumstances, the intent of the statutory requirement of advance scheduling of annual leave has been adequately met. The 77 hours of annual leave which was forfeited may be restored. DECISION This decision is in response to a request by Mr. J. M. Schulman, Director of Personnel, Department of Energy (DOE), for a determination as to whether 77 hours of annual leave which was forfeited by Mr. Jeffrey L. Hodges, a former employee of DOE, may be restored. For the reasons stated later in this decision, we conclude that the 77 hours of forfeited annual leave may be restored. Os3 6E3I
