How Can I Work Overtime TODAY if I took Leave?

January 10th, 2018 | Posted by admin in Benefits | Contract | Did you know? | Your Rights - (0 Comments)

QuestionThe Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), states that your time in PAID Leave status counts as "Hours of Work". So if you have 8 hours of Annual Leave you have a sufficient number of hours to work overtime, or you can work 6 hours (regular time), use 2 hours Leave (annual/credit) and work 2 hours overtime.

REFERENCES:
5CFR 551.401 Hours of Work
5CFR 551.501 Overtime Pay

NOTE: However, you can only work Credit Hours after you have worked an 8 hour day.
