§6336 Restoration of Transferred Leave

Summary

The Office of Personnel Management must set rules to return transferred leave to the people who gave it once the recipient’s medical emergency ends. The leave is returned on a prorated basis to each donor’s account, unless the amount to return would be less than 1 hour (or a shorter amount the Office allows), the donor retires, dies, or leaves before the return is made, or the Office’s rules say the return is not administratively feasible. A donor can choose how restored annual leave is handled: put it in the current leave year, put it in the first day of the next leave year, or donate some or all of it to another recipient. The Office must also make rules for employees not paid biweekly and must follow applicable rules under section 6334(c).
