Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, a cosponsor of the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur nation has leaned on them as they deliver medicines and Social Security checks, assist Americans with filing their taxes, develop a vaccine and provide other vital services. This bill makes sure that no federal worker loses their leave because of this or any future pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most federal employees working in the U.S. may not carry over more than 30 days of unused annual leave from one year to the next, and any earned leave over that cap is lost completely at the end of the calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Federal Worker Leave Fairness Act would mandate that any leave lost during a pandemic that has been declared a public health emergency, due to that leave exceeding the maximum accrual caps, shall be restored to the employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFederal workers at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard have been working tirelessly throughout this pandemic to maintain the Navy\u2019s readiness to respond to national security threats and have avoided unnecessary travel to minimize health risks that could threaten this important work,\u201d said Rep. Derek Kilmer, D-Wash., a cosponsor of the House bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey shouldn\u2019t have to sacrifice the paid leave benefits they\u2019ve earned because they chose to prioritize national service. That\u2019s why I\u2019m joining Senator Hirono to introduce this bill to ensure that federal workers here at the shipyard, and across federal agencies, are able to keep the unused paid time off that they have earned while also maintaining continuity of operations. Federal workers shouldn\u2019t have to choose between working to support our nation or using their earned benefits before the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Office of Personnel Management already has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/hr\/2020\/08\/27\/leave-restoration-policies-streamlined-for-frontline-feds\/\" target=_blank>practice in place for essential federal employees<\/a> \u2014 those who have been prevented from taking time off because their work is too important for pandemic response \u2014 to have their annual leave restored, but that policy does not extend to feds who are allowed to take time off but choose not to do so in the middle of a pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith COVID-19 travel restrictions still in place across the country, taking time off to spend with family or visit loved ones is not an option for many federal employees across Virginia right now,\u201d said Rep. Wexton, D-Va., in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPandemics don\u2019t line up with benefit years. That\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this legislation that would allow all of our federal workers to rollover their \u2018use it or lose it\u2019 time off at the end of this unprecedented year. They deserve to have their hard-earned benefits protected, particularly as many continue to serve on the frontlines of our government\u2019s response to this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bills would cover employees in the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the federal government and apply across the various titles that such employees are hired under.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use-or-lose leave would be preserved for all federal employees under a pair of bills introduced in the House and
