Federal Employees Leave Sharing Act of 1988

Summary

Federal Employees Leave Bank Act of 1988 - Directs the Office of Personnel Management to establish a voluntary leave bank program under which: (1) annual leave may be contributed to a leave bank established by the employing agency; and (2) an employee experiencing a medical emergency may use leave from such leave bank. Directs each agency to establish a leave bank (or leave banks) from annual leave contributed by its employees. Requires each agency to establish a Leave Bank Board to administer the leave bank. Requires employees to make a written application to the Board requesting that a specified number of their annual leave hours be transferred to the leave bank. Allows an employee to state a concern and desire to aid a specified leave recipient or a proposed leave recipient. Authorizes the Board to use such statements in making determinations concerning leave application approvals. Sets forth a formula for determining how much leave an employee may contribute to a leave bank. Declares an employee eligible to be a leave recipient if such employee: (1) experiences a medical emergency and applies to the leave bank for leave; and (2) has contributed the required minimum number of hours to the leave bank in the same calendar year that such employee applies for leave and the contribution is made before the employee experiences the emergency. Sets forth requirements for an application for the receipt of contributions of leave and for the use of such leave. Authorizes such leave to be substituted retroactively for periods of leave-without-pay or used to liquidate an indebtedness for advanced leave. Provides that when the employment of a leave recipient terminates, any approved leave from a leave bank may not: (1) be transferred to another leave bank; (2) be included in any lump-sum payment upon separation from service; or (3) be made available for recredit upon reemployment. Provides that the prohibition on gifts to supervisors does not apply to the voluntary leave bank program. Directs the Board to monitor the status of the medical emergency and establish procedures to ensure that a leave recipient does not use or receive leave after the medical emergency ceases to exist. Prohibits an employee from intimidating, threatening, or coercing any other employee for the purpose of interfering with such employee's right to contribute, receive, or use annual leave from a leave bank. Requires the voluntary leave bank program to be implemented not later than four months after the date of enactment of this Act. Terminates such program five years after such date.
