Administrative leave is an authorized absence from duty with pay and without charge to leave.
Official time, however, is to be used during normal working hours when employees are in a duty status. Please share this memorandum with employees whenever there is a question about the purpose and use of official time related to EEO matters. We hope you find this information useful.
