The Federal Employee Family Friendly Leave Act, effective December 2,1994, allows government employees to use their own accumulated sick leave to care for a family member or for bereavement purposes. All full-time employees are eligible to use their sick leave for the purposes stated above. Part-time employees or employees with an uncommon tour of duty may also use this regulation, but may only be granted sick leave equal to the number of hours in their regularly scheduled work week. They may use all the sick leave they would normally accrue in a leave year for family friendly leave purposes.
All requests are to be approved by the employee's supervisor.
The ITA Office of Human Resources Management will act as an advisor to all ITA employees on FFLA regulations and procedures. For this type of leave, Timekeepers will use code 62 for prefix and code 62 for transition, for employees Time and Attendance record.
