Sec. 630.804  Granting of funeral leave.

    (a) An agency shall grant an employee such funeral leave as is 
needed and requested by him, not to exceed 3 workdays, without loss of 
or reduction in pay, leave to which he is otherwise entitled, or credit 
for time or service, and without adversely affecting his performance or 
efficiency rating. Funeral leave is granted to allow an employee to make 
arrangements for, or to attend, the funeral or memorial service for an 
immediate relative who died as the result of a wound, disease, or injury 
incurred while serving as a member of the armed forces in a combat zone. 
The 3 days need not be consecutive but if not, the employee shall 
furnish the approving authority satisfactory reasons justifying a grant 
of funeral leave for nonconsecutive days.
    (b) An agency may grant funeral leave only from a prescribed tour of 
duty, including regularly scheduled overtime, or, in the case of a 
substitute employee in the postal field service, from a period during 
which, except for absence on funeral leave, the employee would have 
worked.
