Subchapter II of chapter 63 of title 5, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new sections: In this section— the term agency means an Executive agency (as that term is defined in section 105), but does not include the Government Accountability Office; the term combat zone means a geographic area designated by an Executive order of the President as an area in which the Armed Forces are engaging or have engaged in combat, an area designated by law to be treated as a combat zone, or a location the Department of Defense has certified for combat zone tax benefits due to its direct support of military operations; the term employee has the meaning given that term in section 6301; the term high risk, high threat post has the meaning given that term in section 104 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986 ( 22 U.S.C. 4803 ); and the term leave year means the period beginning on the first day of the first complete pay period in a calendar year and ending on the day immediately before the first day of the first complete pay period in the following calendar year.
The head of an agency may prescribe regulations to grant up to 20 days of paid leave, per leave year, for the purposes of rest and recuperation to an employee of the agency serving in a combat zone, any other high risk, high threat post, or any other location presenting significant security or operational challenges. Use of the authority under subsection
(b)is at the sole and exclusive discretion of the head of the agency concerned. An agency shall record leave provided under this section separately from leave authorized under any other provision of law. In this section— the term agency means an Executive agency (as that term is defined in section 105), but does not include the Government Accountability Office; the term employee has the meaning given that term in section 6301; and the term leave year means the period beginning with the first day of the first complete pay period in a calendar year and ending with the day immediately before the first day of the first complete pay period in the following calendar year. The head of an agency may prescribe regulations to grant up to 10 days of paid leave, per leave year, to an employee of the agency serving abroad where the conduct of business could pose potential security or safety related risks or would be inconsistent with host-country practice. Such regulations may provide that additional leave days may be granted during such leave year if the head of the agency determines that to do so is necessary to advance the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States. Use of the authority under subsection
(b)is at the sole and exclusive discretion of the head of the agency concerned. An agency shall record leave provided under this section separately from leave authorized under any other provision of law. .
