Federal Employees Leave Sharing Act of 1988

Summary

Federal Employees' Leave-Transfer Act of 1987 - Directs the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to establish a program under which the annual leave of a Federal employee may be transferred to the annual leave of any other Federal employee if such other employee requires additional leave because of a personal emergency. Excludes District of Columbia government employees from provisions of this Act. Describes the requirements for receiving and using transferred leave and for donating annual leave. Authorizes an employing agency to require certification from one or more physicians, or other appropriate experts, with respect to the reasons why transferred leave is needed. Requires agencies to establish procedures to ensure that a leave recipient is not permitted to use or receive transferred leave after the personal emergency ceases to exist. Provides for restoring unused transferred leave to leave donors on a prorated basis. Provides for the accrual and accumulation of leave by employees using transferred leave. Authorizes OPM to exclude any agency from the leave transfer program if such program causes substantial disruption to the agency. Directs OPM to carry out a demonstration program to test the following alternative leave-transfer programs on an agency-wide basis: (1) one program under which any transfers of annual leave shall be effected by donations to and withdrawals from a common, agency-wide "leave fund," rather than by direct transfers from leave donors to leave recipients; (2) one program under which, in addition to allowing transfers of annual leave, sick leave accrued or accumulated by one employee shall be transferable to the sick leave account of any other employee, if such other employee requires additional sick leave because of a personal emergency; and (3) one program under which, in addition to allowing transfers of annual leave, sick leave accrued or accumulated by one employee shall be transferable to the sick leave account of any other employee, but only if transfers of annual leave are inadequate, or would be inadequate, to meet the personal emergency involved. Prohibits an employee from being coerced into donating, receiving, or using annual leave under the voluntary leave transfer program. Requires the Office of Personnel Management to report to the President and the Congress not later than six months before termination of any program under this Act. Terminates such programs three years after their commencement.
