Bill > HR6311

This bill provides paid leave for federal employees whose spouses are members of the uniformed services or Foreign Service and are subject to a permanent change of station (PCS), which means a required relocation to a new duty station or homeport. Under the proposed legislation, eligible employees would be entitled to a set number of hours of paid leave specifically for facilitating their move, with the exact number of hours to be determined by their employing agency. The leave can be used intermittently or on a reduced schedule, but must be taken within one month of the move and only during scheduled work hours. The leave is additional to other existing leave types, cannot be converted to cash, and is available for each instance of a PCS but does not accumulate. Employees must provide documentation of their spouse's PCS when requesting the leave. The bill broadly defines eligible employees to include various types of federal workers, such as postal workers, certain veterans' employees, and civil service personnel, whose spouses are relocating due to military or diplomatic service assignments.
