Office of Personnel Management June 14, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is issuing final regulations to modify definitions related to family member and immediate relative in 5 CFR part 630 and to add other defined terms, for purposes of use of sick leave, funeral leave, voluntary leave transfer, voluntary leave bank, and emergency leave transfer. These changes implement Section 1 of the President's June 17, 2009, Memorandum on Federal Benefits and Non-Discrimination and help ensure that agencies consider the needs of a diverse workforce and provide employees the broadest possible support to help them balance their work, personal, and family obligations.
