[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's unfair that we would have to use our leave (sick or annual) for this situation.

For what it's worth, I have enough of both but I don't think it's fair that we have to burn up our personal leave when the federal offices are closed. [/quote]

Be very careful going down this path...

Offices are closed not because work can't be done, but because commuting isn't safe.
You get the benefit of not commuting.  There is no reason why you can't work.

What would you do if federal offices were not closed?  Do that thing.[/quote]

[b]Children at home is actually a reason to not work.[/b]

It always has been.[/quote]

It still is. That’s what your leave is for.

This isn’t complicated.[/quote]

No this is why admin leave is still appropriate for snow days.[/quote]

It isn't.  Why do you think it is?  Does it apply to any situation in which you have to provide care to your child?  If only "snow days" why?[/quote]

Childcare is a reason to give admin leave in our guidance.

I am able to give emergency leave and admin leave for many reasons.
I’ve given admin leave when in car accident on way to work, to give blood, approved volunteer activities, death of a president, power outages and weather.

It applies now to both of a child, adoption of a child, foster care of a child.

Ask OPM why only weather? 
OPM has a hand[/quote]
