UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE ' - WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 IN REPLY REFER TO: B-191618 (MRV) ,E Or GENERAL COUNSEL November 7, 1978 Chicago, Illinois 60615 Dear Reference is made to your letter dated March 28, 1978, and our telephone conversation of October 23, 1978, concerning your forfeiture of annual leave at the end of leave-year 1977. Your letter states that you believe you were improperly charged with an absence without leave (AWOL) and that as, a result you forfeited 3 hours of annual leave at the end of leave year 1977. However, our Office has long held that leave administration is primarily a matter for the employing agency concerned., Furthermore, you have not presented any evidence which would substantiate your allegations that the General Services Administration erroneously placed you in AWOL status and caused you to forfeit leave. If you believe that you were improperly charged with an absence without leave and that the subsequent forfeiture of annual leave was due to administrative error, you may submita claim to our Claims Division. See 4 C.F.R. Part 31 (1978) (copy enclosed). As provided in 4 C.F.R. 31.4, claims should be filed initially with the General Services Administration so that if the agency denies the claim an administrative report will accompany the claim upon transmittal to the Claims Division. We trust that the above information is of assistance to you. Sincerely yours, Michael R. Volpe Attorney-Adviser Enclosure mu
