In paragraph (1), the words ''when used in a geographical sense''

are added for clarity.

In paragraph (2), the words ''an employee as defined by section

2105 of this title'' are coextensive with and substituted for

''civilian officers and employees of the United States . . .

including officers and employees of corporations wholly owned or

controlled by the United States''. Specific reference to officers

and members of the Metropolitan Police force of the District of

Columbia, the Fire Department of the District of Columbia, the

United States Park Police force, and the White House Police force,

as set forth in former section 2067, is omitted as unnecessary in

view of the provisions of paragraph (2)(A), (B). The exception for

''commissioned officers of the Public Health Service'' and

''commissioned officers of the Coast and Geodetic Survey'' in

former section 2061(b)(1)(E), (F) is omitted as unnecessary since

these officers are excluded by the definition of the word

''employee'' in section 2105.

In paragraph (2)(ix), the words ''as defined by section 901 of

title 20'' are added on authority of former section 2351, which

CHAPTER 63 - LEAVE

SUBCHAPTER I - ANNUAL AND SICK LEAVE

-HEAD-

Sec. 6303. Annual leave; accrual

-STATUTE-

(a) An employee is entitled to annual leave with pay which

accrues as follows -

(1) one-half day for each full biweekly pay period for an

employee with less than 3 years of service;

(2) three-fourths day for each full biweekly pay period, except

that the accrual for the last full biweekly pay period in the

year is one and one-fourth days, for an employee with 3 but less

than 15 years of service; and

(3) one day for each full biweekly pay period for an employee

with 15 or more years of service.

In determining years of service, an employee is entitled to credit

for all service of a type that would be creditable under section

8332, regardless of whether or not the employee is covered by

subchapter III of chapter 83. However, an employee who is a retired

member of a uniformed service as defined by section 3501 of this

title is entitled to credit for active military service only if -

(A) his retirement was based on disability -

(i) resulting from injury or disease received in line of duty

as a direct result of armed conflict; or

(ii) caused by an instrumentality of war and incurred in line

of duty during a period of war as defined by sections 101 and

1101 of title 38;

(B) that service was performed in the armed forces during a

war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge

has been authorized; or

which this subchapter applies and thereafter he continued to be

so employed without a break in service of more than 30 days.

The determination of years of service may be made on the basis of

an affidavit of the employee. Leave provided by this subchapter

accrues to an employee who is not paid on the basis of biweekly pay

periods on the same basis as it would accrue if the employee were

paid on the basis of biweekly pay periods.

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, an employee

whose current employment is limited to less than 90 days is

entitled to annual leave under this subchapter only after being

currently employed for a continuous period of 90 days under

successive appointments without a break in service. After

completing the 90-day period, the employee is entitled to be

credited with the leave that would have accrued to him under

subsection (a) of this section except for this subsection.

employee under this section takes effect at the beginning of the

pay period after the pay period, or corresponding period for an

employee who is not paid on the basis of biweekly pay periods, in

which the employee completed the prescribed period of service.

(d) Leave granted under this subchapter is exclusive of time

actually and necessarily occupied in going to or from a post of

duty and time necessarily occupied awaiting transportation, in the

case of an employee -

(1) to whom section 6304(b) of this title applies;

(2) whose post of duty is outside the United States; and

(3) who returns on leave to the United States, or to his place

of residence, which is outside the area of employment, in its

territories or possessions including the Commonwealth of Puerto

Rico.

This subsection does not apply to more than one period of leave in

a prescribed tour of duty at a post outside the United States.

periods, occurring in a year.

(b) Annual leave not used by an employee of the Government of the

United States in one of the following classes of employees

stationed outside the United States accumulates for use in

succeeding years until it totals not more than 45 days at the

beginning of the first full biweekly pay period, or corresponding

period for an employee who is not paid on the basis of biweekly pay

periods, occurring in a year:

(1) Individuals directly recruited or transferred by the

Government of the United States from the United States or its

territories or possessions including the Commonwealth of Puerto

(2) under subsection (a) of this section which was accumulated

under subsection (b) of this section by an employee who becomes

subject to subsection (a) of this section;

remains to the credit of the employee until used. The excess

annual leave is reduced at the beginning of the first full biweekly

pay period, or corresponding period for an employee who is not paid

on the basis of biweekly pay periods, occurring in a year, by the

amount of annual leave the employee used during the preceding year

in excess of the amount which accrued during that year, until the

employee's accumulated leave does not exceed the amount allowed

under subsection (a) or (b) of this section, as appropriate.

credited to a separate leave account for the employee and shall be

available for use by the employee within the time limits prescribed

by regulations of the Office of Personnel Management. Leave

credited under this paragraph but unused and still available to the

employee under the regulations prescribed by the Office shall be

included in the lump-sum payment under section 5551 or 5552(1) of

this title but may not be retained to the credit of the employee

under section 5552(2) of this title.

(3)(A) For the purpose of this subsection, the closure of, and

any realignment with respect to, an installation of the Department

of Defense pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act

of 1990 (part A of title XXIX of Public Law 101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687

note) during any period, the closure of an installation of the

Department of Defense in the Republic of Panama in accordance with

the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, and the closure of any other

installation of the Department of Defense, during the period

beginning on October 1, 1992, and ending on December 31, 1997,

any leave that is lost by an employee of such installation by

operation of this section (regardless of whether such leave was

means a base realignment (as defined in subsection (e)(3) of

section 2687 of title 10) that meets the requirements of subsection

(a)(2) of such section.

(4)(A) For the purpose of this subsection, service of a

employee'' means an employee of the Department of Defense who is

designated under section 1580 of title 10 as an emergency

essential employee; and

(ii) the term ''combat zone'' has the meaning given such term

in section 112(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

(e) Annual leave otherwise accruable after June 30, 1960, which

is lost by operation of this section because of administrative

error and which is not credited under subsection (d)(2) of this

section because the employee is separated before the error is

discovered, is subject to credit and liquidation by lump-sum

payment only if a claim therefor is filed within 3 years

immediately following the date of discovery of the error. Payment

shall be made by the agency of employment when the lump-sum payment

provisions of section 5551 of this title last became applicable to

the employee at the rate of basic pay in effect on the date the

lump-sum provisions became applicable.

(f)(1) This subsection applies with respect to annual leave

accrued by an individual while serving in a position in -

(A) the Senior Executive Service;

(B) the Senior Foreign Service;

(D) the Senior Cryptologic Executive Service; or

(E) the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Drug Enforcement

Administration Senior Executive Service.

(2) For purposes of applying any limitation on accumulation under

this section with respect to any annual leave described in

days''; and

(B) ''45 days'' in subsection (b) shall be deemed to read ''90

days''.
