handle is hein.gao/gaobadrxo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -. UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 205A6 00MAL Cowan. March 15, 1983 8-210650 Ms. Kathryne L. A. McKinney A.e q 3d Vice President National Federation of Federal Employees, Local 1900 Post Office Box 36 Denver, Colorado 80201 Dear Ms. McKinney This responds to your request for guidance of your union local concerning action of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, in refusing to restore 8 hours of annual leave to the account of an employee who was in a muse-or-lose leave status on December 27, 1982, when all Federal agencies in the metropolitan Denver area were closed for the entire day due to a blizzard. You state the employee's leave period extended through January 8, 1983, the last day of the 1982 leave year. Because she was not charged annual leave as scheduled on December 27 when the agency was officially closed, she was required to forfeit the 8 hours she then had remaining in excess of the statutory annual leave ceiling of 240 hours. You state further that the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Denver Regional Office of the General Accounting Office informed you that other Federal employees in the Denver area who were in a use-or-lose* leave status through the end of the leave year were also required to for- feit excess leave that remained as a result of administra- tive closure of Federal agerles. You indicate that the employee on whose behalf you have written feels that to require forfeiture of annual leave under these circumstances is unfair and has requested restoration of the 8 hours, since those employees whose muse-or-lose leave periods were scheduled to end after December 27 but before the end of the leave year were not required to forfeit leave on account of the closure because there was time remaining in the leave year when the extra hours could be used.
