Summary

When an agency sets up a leave bank, it must have a three-member Leave Bank Board with at least one member who represents labor or employees. The board works with the Office of Personnel Management. An agency may have more than one board, but each leave bank may have only one. The board must approve requests, monitor recipients, track leave levels and request counts, and try to keep enough leave available.
