Administrative Leave

NAF Components may grant administrative leave to employees when an authorized official closes all or part of an installation due to circumstances surrounding an emergency, such as a natural disaster. Administrative dismissals shall be in accordance with DoDI 1400.25, Subchapter 1406, SC1406.2.1.6.

Employees may also be excused from their duties without loss of pay or charge to leave when performing volunteer activities, such as participating in Red Cross relief efforts, emergency law enforcement, or recovery efforts authorized by Federal, State or Local officials having jurisdictions. This does not apply to employees who are members of the National Guard or Reserves who are called up to assist. Military leave is appropriate for those employees.

Upon expiration of approved excused leave, employees may use accrued annual leave or be placed in a Leave Without Pay (LWOP) status. NAF policy relative to LWOP can be found in DoDI 1400.25, Subchapter 1406, SC 1406.2.2.13.

Leave Donation

The Heads of DoD NAF Components may establish leave donation programs to assist eligible NAF employees who are unable to report for work due to emergency conditions or hardship situations. Leave may be donated from/to individual employees, or leave banks may be established. Leave donation between appropriated and nonappropriated fund employees is prohibited. NAF employees who have a need to receive donated leave should contact the servicing NAF Human Resource Office.

Telework

NAF employers may permit employees to work off-site, either at telework centers, alternate work areas and facilities, or home. This option provides a means for management to maintain operations and support the mission during emergency situations.
