MEMORANDUM FOR BUREAU HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICERS

This is a reminder regarding the annual leave restoration procedure requirements for the 2006 leave year. Employees and managers share a long-standing responsibility for planning and scheduling annual leave throughout the year. Positive action should be taken to assure that annual leave is scheduled for use during the year so as to avoid its forfeiture at the end of the leave year.

In accordance with the DOJ Order 1630.1B, Leave Administration dated July 22, 1991, there are strict criteria and documentation requirements which must be met before annual leave in excess of an employee's ceiling (referred to as "use or lose leave") is eligible for restoration.

The DOJ Order 1630.1B is located at the following web address: http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/ps/gui16301b.htm.

If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Villare on (202) 616-3707 or via e-mail at Rachel.Villare@usdoj.gov or Denise Corbitt on (202) 353-7786 or via e-mail at Denise.V.Corbitt@usdoj.gov.
