# §630.1405. Administration of administrative leave.

- (a) An agency must use the same minimum charge increments for administrative leave as it does for annual and sick leave under [§ 630.206](/cfr/5/630.206.md).
- (b) Employees may be granted administrative leave only for hours within the tour of duty established for purposes of charging annual and sick leave when absent. For full-time employees, that tour is the 40-hour basic workweek as defined in [5 CFR 610.102](/cfr/5/610.102.md), the basic work requirement established for employees on a flexible or compressed work schedule as defined in [5 U.S.C. 6121(3)](/usc/5/6121.md?p=3), or an uncommon tour of duty under [§ 630.210](/cfr/5/630.210.md).
- (c) Agencies authorize, and may require, the use of administrative leave by an employee or a category of employees. Employees do not have an entitlement to receive administrative leave, nor do they have a right to refuse administrative leave when the agency requires its use.
