This Order issues and transmits the revised General Services Administration (GSA) Time and Leave Administration Policy.
GSA’s Time and Leave Administration Order has traditionally included guidance and policies to implement Civil Service principles related to Chapter 55 (premium pay), Chapter 61 (work schedules) and Chapter 63 (leave administration) of Title 5, U.S. Code. This Order’s policies are also written to align to Civil Service regulations found within Part 550 (premium pay), Part 610 (work scheduling) and Part 630 (leave administration) of Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations.
This Order applies to all GSA employees and contractors as they perform their duties. The following are exceptions:
This Order cancels and supersedes GSA Order HRM 6010.1E, Time and Leave Administration Policy.
This version adds Chapter 22 and 23 to include policies for investigative and notice leave under 5 U.S.C. § 6329b, per the new regulations dated December 17, 2024. This version also adds Chapter 24 to include policies regarding “Rest and Recuperation and Overseas Operations Leave” per the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2025.
Supervisors and employees are responsible for implementing pay and leave authorities in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."
When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
