The Office of Personnel Management has issued guidance to agencies on the processing of claims for
annual leave in light of a 2003 court decision that employees were required to take military leave only
on days on which they were required to work and that agencies should have allowed 15workdays of
military leave for reserve training (instead of 15 calendar days, as the language in that section was
previously interpreted and applied prior to the court’s ruling). For a closer look at the guidance, go
