§6373 — Title 5 Government Organization and Employees | U.S. Code

Summary

The Office of Personnel Management must make rules that let an employee who is in a leave bank program under this subchapter also give or get donated leave under the other leave-donation program (subchapter III). Those rules can include any terms or conditions OPM decides. If an employee uses leave from both programs for the same medical emergency, the limit on how many days of annual leave and sick leave count for that emergency is the same as if all the leave had come only from the leave bank program.
