Federal Manager's Daily Report

The Office of Personnel Management has issued a template-

like sample plan that agencies may choose to adopt for

administering the emergency leave transfer program.

The President can direct OPM to set up a leave transfer

program whereby employees in an executive agency can donate

annual leave to adversely affected federal employees in the

same or other agencies.

According to the sample plan, employees eligible to receive

leave include those not personally adversely affected by a

disaster or emergency, but whose family members do not have

reasonable access to other forms of assistance. Those

employees may also receive donated leave under the program.

The plan specifies and gives links to the necessary forms

employees need to fill out to become donors or recipients

and is available here:
