Application for leave not made fol-
lowed by determination employee's
services were indispensable-under
act, June 3, 1941, and President's
regulations issued pursuant thereto,
a War Dept. field service employee
may not be compensated after ex-
piration of the calendar year for
annual leave not applied for and
denied during the calendar year in
which the leave accrued, notwith-
standing a determination is made at
the time of proposed payment that
his services could not have been
spared during the preceding year...
Certificate that leave would otherwise

be forfeited-vouchers proposing
payment pursuant to act, June 3,
1941, for annual leave covering
vacation applied for and denied
to those War Dept. field service em-
ployees who, under sec. 1 of Exec.
Order 8817, are entitled to payment
for only so much of their current

employee stationed outside conti-
nental U. S. had, on Jan. 1, 1941,

"Current leave" defined-for purposes

of payment under sec. 1 of E. O.
8817, issued pursuant to act, June 3,
1941, for the current-as distin-
guished from accumulated-leave
that an employee would forfeit if he
is required to forego his vacation,
the 26 or 30 days, as the case may be,
of annual leave which War Dept.
employees stationed outside conti-
nental U. S. accrue each year for 4
consecutive years, including the year
current when the leave is taken, is
to be classed as current leave only
during the year in which it accrues.
Current leave during fourth leave-
accrual year-if a War Dept. "nonin-
dustrial" civilian employee sta-
tioned outside continental U. S.,
who may accumulate 104 days' an-
nual leave, exclusive of Sundays and
holidays, through 4 consecutive years,
including the year current when the
leave is taken, applies for and is
denied during his fourth consecutive
year the amount of annual leave, not
to exceed 26 days exclusive of Sundays
and holidays, he would forfeit at the
end of that year, he may be paid for
such leave, subject to the conditions
of sec. 1 of Exec. Order 8817, issued
pursuant to act of June 3, 1941, au-
thorizing payments for denied vaca-
tions as therein specified....
General effect of denied leave payments
on leave payments on separation
from service-whether a War Dept.
field service "industrial" employee
is to be paid for annual leave to his
credit upon separation from service
is not dependent upon whether he
has been previously paid pursuant to
act, June 3, 1941, and President's
regulations issued pursuant thereto,
for current accrued leave in lieu of a
vacation, but is dependent upon the
usual rules with respect to granting
accumulated and current accrued
leave upon separation from the
service....

General effect of employee's being on
military duty-where War Dept.
fleld service employee of class en-
titled to payment under act, June 3,
1941, for current accrued leave in
lieu of vacation is on leave without
pay as Reserve officer on active duty,
his right to payment for accumulated
and current accrued leave is con-
trolled by act, Aug. 1, 1941, with
respect to leave rights of Govt. em-

ment for denied leave-War Dept.
field service employee who has been
paid pursuant to act, June 3, 1941, and
President's regulations issued pursu-
ant thereto, for current accrued an-
nual leave in lieu of a vacation may
subsequently for urgent, unforeseen
reasons be given leave chargeable
against any annual leave he might
then have to his credit.....
"Industrial" employees defined-War
Dept. field service employees en-
gaged in construction, manufac-
turing, etc., pursuits whose services
are of type in demand by private in-
dustry, and are thus entitled to
payment for current accrued annual
leave in lieu of relinquished vaca-
tions under sec. 2, E. O. 8817, issued
pursuant to act, June 3, 1941, regard-
less of leave accrued in prior years,
are administratively designated as
"Industrial" employees whose posi-
tions are not classified under Classi-
fication Act of 1923.
Limitation of leave payments to cur-

rent year leave accruals:
Under act, June 3, 1941, and Presi-

dent's regulations issued pursuant
thereto, War Dept. field service
employees may not be advanced
annual leave in order to be paid
therefor in lieu of vacations.------
War Dept. field service employees

are entitled under act, June 3, 1941,
and E. O. No. 8817 promulgated
pursuant thereto, to be paid only
for current annual leave accrued
during a particular calendar year
at the time application for vacation
is made and denied, whether they
are of the class covered by sec. 1 of
said E. O. entitled to payment for
only so much of their current
accrued leave as would be for
feited because of excess accumula-
tion, or whether of the class
covered by sec. 2 of said E. O. en-
titled to payment for current ac-
crued leave regardless of leave ac-
cumulated in a prior year...
