Nonduty days and holidays are NOT chargeable leave days if they occur during an authorized period of leave. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Depends on the Situation

Answer: (B)

When you have an authorized period of leave, every calendar day in that period is charged to your leave balance. Even if a day would normally be a nonduty day or a holiday, it does not create a nonchargeable gap in your leave. The holiday or weekend simply falls inside the leave block and counts toward your leave balance. So the statement is not correct: nonduty days and holidays within an approved leave period are still chargeable as leave days. If your leave includes a holiday, you don’t get that day counted as nonleave time; it reduces your leave balance just like any other day in the period.
