Memorandum for the Record
Subject: Annual Leave Accumulation Benefits for Initial SIS Convertees
1. During the week of 22 October, it came to our attention that
OPM had issued new guidance to civil service agencies on SES annual
leave accumulation indicating that unlimited accumulation would apply
only during periods of SES service and would be prorated for the year
of entry into SES. This is contrary to information provided by
Ms. Sally Greenberg, Associate Director, Executive Personnel & Manage-
ment for OPM, in an interview in April/June 1979 issue of the Civil
Service Journal. A query to OPM revealed that Ms. Greenberg suuUse-
Quent.y haJ issued an informal memorandum (undated) stating that
unlimited leave accumulation for charter SES members would not begin
until July 13, 1979. This apparently reflected OPM interpretation
of 5 CFR 630.301, which was sent out as FPM Bulleting 630-36 on
September 12, 1979.
2. We were concerned about the possible effect of this interpretation
on our SIS provision for leave accumulation, which per OGC was included
by specifically invoking the DCI's special authorities. Our SIS
leave accumulation differs from the SES provision in that we require
all SIS members to "use or lose" at least 80 hours of annual leave each
year and permit unlimited accumulation of additional annual leave. Our
intention is to provide this benefit to new SIS members including
the leave year they enter the SIS System.
3. I brought this matter informally to the attention of
STATINTL Mr. of OGC on 25 October. He foresaw no problems in our
proceedin with our leave accumulation policy for SIS, since our program
xs Eased on the DCI s special au orities rather than on the Civil
Service Reform Act or OPM issuances to civil service agencies. He did
STATINTL refer the matter to Mr. of OGC who had initially researched
the proposed SIS leave accumulation provisions.
STATI NTL 4. This morning informally advised that he sees no
legal problems in our intended implementation of SIS leave accumulation,
ci es provisions (80-hour "use or lose" and unlimited
accumulation of remainder) effective for the year in which an individual
enters the SIS. He said he would advise us further only if OGC
determines there are other legal. problems, but does not anticipate any
at this time.

S. Based on the above view, we plan to proceed in implementing
our leave accumulation provisions as outlined in the DDCI approved
STS Plan and in the SIS brochure.
