Managers may require designated emergency or mission-critical employees or employees whose presence is necessary to remain on duty due to operational and business needs. For those of you who will remain on duty, please know that your dedication to our mission and willingness to go above and beyond to keep our nation’s transportation system moving and the traveling public safe.
Employees should record holiday absences in the time and attendance (T&A) system as follows:
- Time Not Worked Code – 050 – Holiday Leave.
- Labor Distribution Reporting (LDR) Codes for Administrative Leave, Project Code – 12XXFALEAVE, Task Code – LEA005 – Use of Holiday Leave.
Refer to HRPM Reference Material: Days Observed in Lieu of the Actual Holiday for an extensive description of the "in lieu of" holidays for employees on compressed or flexible work schedules.
Managers and employees can contact the Office of Human Resource Labor and Employee Relations with questions.
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.
