General Information

Employees may be place on a partial LWOP only during periods when the employee would otherwise be scheduled to work. If the employee is not scheduled to work (e.g. 10-month position or 10-month employee occupying a fiscal year position), the employee must be placed on Roll Code 9 for the non-work period.
For a reduced schedule Family and Medical Leave (FML), process a S43 with Detail Transaction Code (Item 719) = 76. An optional entry in Item 215 can denote ’FML LEAVE’.
Benefit eligible employees whose partial LWOP decreases their time base below half time will impact continued benefit eligibility. Benefits cancelled via 674 can be reinstated via 674. A new HBD enrollment form must be completed if benefits were canceled via HBD.
