USDA Secretary Vilsack has authorized employees to use 8 hours of Administrative Leave between now and Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022.

What you need to do

• Employees will code their timesheet using Other Leave, “Transaction Code (TC) 66” when using the Administrative Leave and please note it in the remarks section.
• The 8 hours of Administrative Leave do not need to be used on the same day and may be combined with other leave.
• The leave may only be charged during an employee’s scheduled tour of duty and does not count towards “use-or-lose” leave.
• Please work with your supervisor to use the 8 hours of Administrative Leave before Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022.
