Absence and Leave; Sick Leave for Adoption; Final Rule and Interim Rule

The Office of Personnel Management is issuing final regulations on the use and recredit of sick leave for Federal employees. Consistent with the recently enacted Federal Employees Family Friendly Leave Act, the final regulations expand the use of sick leave by permitting most employees to use a total of up to 104 hours of sick leave each leave year (or, in the case of a part-time employee or an employee with an uncommon tour of duty, the number of hours of sick leave normally accrued during a leave year) to provide care for a family member as a result of physical or mental illness; injury; pregnancy; childbirth; or medical, dental, or optical examination or treatment; or to make arrangements necessitated by the death of a family member or attend the funeral of a family member. The final regulations also remove the 3-year break-in-service limitation on the recredit of sick leave for former employees who are reemployed on or after December 2, 1994.
