Excused absence is an administratively authorized or approved absence from duty and does not result in a charge to leave of any kind or a loss of basic salary. The heads of overseas establishments may establish uniform rules for granting excused absences provided the granting of such leave is the general practice locally. The rules including the maximum permissible period should conform to those prevailing locally. Examples of excused absences authorized under U.S. law for U.S. citizen employees are found in 3 FAM 3440 through 3 FAM 3460. Extended excused absence due to deterioration in bilateral relations, local civil disturbance or unrest may be approved by GTM/OE based on local prevailing practice. (See 3 FAM 7200.)
