To: All FAA Employees
Subject: Early Release Notification for Monday, July 3
In recognition of the upcoming Independence Day holiday on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg approved an early release of three (3) hours for DOT Federal employees who are in work status, including telework, on Monday, July 3 2023.
“In work status” means employees must be on duty immediately three (3) hours before their scheduled shift ends on July 3. This early release covers all FAA employees, except employees designated as emergency or mission-critical (see Human Resource Policy Manual EMS-11.5 Identifying Essential Supporting Activities and Designating Emergency and Mission-Critical Employees for Emergency Situations) and those whose positions require periodic onsite presence. Managers may require designated emergency or mission-critical employees or employees whose presence is necessary to remain on duty.
For those of you who are required to remain on duty, please know that your dedication to the FAA’s mission is appreciated every day and especially during this busy travel holiday weekend. If you are unsure about your status, please check with your manager.
If your work schedule allows, you should record the three (3) hours of excused absence (or administrative leave) for the early release in the time and attendance (T&A) system as follows:
- Time Not Worked Code – 060 – Administrative Leave – Other.
- Labor Distribution Reporting (LDR) Codes for Administrative Leave, Project Code – 12XXFALEAVE, Task Code – LEA001 – Use of Other Time Not Worked.
Managers, if you have questions, please contact your assigned AHR Labor and Employee Relations (LER), Headquarters, or Regional office.
Note: This applies to non-bargaining unit employees/positions and bargaining unit employees/positions. It does not apply to bargaining unit employees/positions where the applicable collective bargaining agreement contains conflicting provisions or the Agency has not met its bargaining obligation.
