5 C.F.R. Subpart C—Administrative Dismissals of Daily, Hourly, and Piecework Employees
Title 5 - Administrative Personnel
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 6104; E.O. 10552, 3 CFR, 1954–1958 Comp., p. 201.
The purpose of this subpart is to provide uniform and equitable standards under which regular employees paid at daily, hourly, or piecework rates may be relieved from duty with pay by administrative order. The authority in this subpart may be used only to the extent warranted by good administration for short periods of time not generally exceeding 3 consecutive work days in a single period of excused absence. This authority may not be used in situations of extensive duration or for periods of interrupted or suspended operations such as ordinarily would be covered by the scheduling of leave, furlough, or the assignment of other work. Insofar as practicable, each administrative order issued under this subpart shall provide benefits for regular employees paid at daily, hourly, or piecework rates similar to those provided for employees paid at annual rates. In this subpart: Administrative order means an order issued by an authorized official of an agency relieving regular employees from active duty without charge to leave or loss of pay. Regular employees means employees paid at daily, hourly, or piecework rates who have a regular tour of duty, and whose appointments are not limited to 90 days or less or who have been currently employed for a continuous period of 90 days under one or more appointments without a break in service. [33 FR 12474, Sept. 4, 1968, as amended at 34 FR 2479, Feb. 21, 1969; 60 FR 67287, Dec. 29, 1995] This subpart applies to regular employees of the Federal Government paid at daily, hourly, or piecework rates. This subpart does not apply to experts and consultants. An administrative order may be issued under this subpart when: (a) Normal operations of an establishment are interrupted by events beyond the control of management or employees; (b) For managerial reasons, the closing of an establishment or portions thereof is required for short periods; or (c) It is in the public interest to relieve employees from work to participate in civil activities which the Government is interested in encouraging. (d) The circumstances are such that an administrative order under paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section is not appropriate and the agency under its regulations excuses, or is authorized to excuse, without charge to leave or loss of pay, employees paid on an annual basis. [33 FR 12474, Sept. 4, 1968, as amended at 34 FR 2479, Feb. 21, 1969] Each agency is authorized to issue supplemental regulations not inconsistent with this subpart. [33 FR 12474, Sept. 4, 1968, as amended at 34 FR 2479, Feb. 21, 1969]
