OPM Promotes Volunteerism

OPM recently issued a memo encouraging employees and their families, as applicable to consider extending their stay when on official travel to regions affected by natural disasters such as the Midwest flooding in order to participate in volunteer activities. The memo also reminded agencies about their authority to grant time off to employees for such purposes. For a closer look at that authority, go to https://www.fedweek.com in the hot free info section of our website.
