Other Leaves Employees are also eligible for leaves for a variety of other purposes, including Civil Service examinations, jury duty, civil defense duty, ordered military duty, and professional examinations and meetings. This policy neither limits nor guarantees the amount of time that may be approved for such purposes. Employees may reduce their work schedules and salaries from a minimum of five percent up to a maximum of 30 percent, with agency approval. Participating employees suffer no reduction in benefits for health insurance, dental insurance, vision care, the Income Protection Plan, or survivors' benefits, although leave accruals are prorated. For the purposes of general salary increases and performance advances, the employee's basic annual salary is treated as though it had not been reduced.
