MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES (CPM 2002-03)
|
FROM:
|
DONALD J.
WINSTEAD
Acting Associate Director
for
Workforce Compensation and Performance
|
SUBJECT:
|
Meeting of the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund
|
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have
scheduled meetings for the weekend of
April 20-21, 2002
, in
Washington
,
DC
, and a number of demonstrations have been planned in connection with these
meetings. Some of these events also
may occur on the Friday before and/or the Monday after the scheduled meetings.
We do not anticipate any special leave conditions for Federal employees.
The United States Government will remain open as usual during this
period.
Because of possible traffic congestion in the downtown
Washington
,
DC, area, I urge you to advise employees to use public transportation and allow
extra time for travel on Friday, April 19, and Monday, April 22.
Employees who wish to stay home should request leave by following normal
procedures. Please encourage
supervisors to approve requests for leave on these days.
Employees on alternative work schedules (AWS) may wish to schedule their
AWS day off or use credit hours (if available).
With supervisory approval under a written telecommuting agreement,
employees may work at home or at a telecenter on these days.
Federal and local law enforcement officials may determine
that designated areas of downtown
Washington
,
DC
, will have restricted access. This
decision will be made later this week based on the recommendations of law
enforcement officials. Any changes
affecting Federal employees and agencies will be announced by local media and on
OPMs web site at www.opm.gov.
Employees should be encouraged to monitor local news media
for announcements on street closures for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic,
closures or disruptions to public transportation, building closures, or any
other possible changes in operating status.
I also encourage agencies to use communications tools they have in place,
such as hotlines, to inform employees of any relevant, agency-specific issues.
I trust you will
use all of the management tools available to accommodate employees and continue
to provide service. If you have any
questions about leave entitlements or alternative work schedules, please ask
your staff to contact our Pay and Leave Administration Division by calling (202)
606-2858 or sending an email message to payleave@opm.gov.
