From: | Deputy Director |
Subject: | Procedures for Requesting and Obtaining
Approval of Leave |
To: | Area Directors |
It has come to my attention that some Area
Directors are not following established procedures for requesting and
obtaining approval of leave. All leave for Area Directors is required to be approved prior to leave being taken except in emergency situations. Proposed leave is requested to be submitted along with the quarterly travel plan fifteen (15) days before each quarter to the Deputy Director, via Standard Form (SF) 71, Application for Leave, is to be used for this purpose. Form PHS 1345 is used for Commissioned Corps Officers. Emergency or unplanned leave must be communicated by telephone to the Deputy Director, IHS, by the designated Acting Director, Area Office, on the day the leave is taken by the Area Director and followed with an SF-71 or PHS 1345 to satisfy the leave recording requirement. Your cooperation in following these procedures will be appreciated. |
