- Is serving in a permanent, temporary indefinite, temporary pending establishment of a register (TAPER), or term appointment; and
- If part-time, has a scheduled tour of duty between 16 and 32 hours per week (as defined in 5 U.S.C. 3401(2)). Note that military leave under 5 U.S.C. 6323(a) is prorated for part-time career employees and employees on an uncommon tour of duty.

Absence for Draft Registration or Physical Examination
Employees will be excused from duty without charge to leave or loss of pay to register for military duty pursuant to statutory requirement. The excused time for this purpose shall not exceed one day, including travel time.
Time off must be granted to employees for the purpose of a physical examination incidental to entry into the armed forces or in connection with member-ship in a reserve component of the Armed Forces or the National Guard. In the event that the absence exceeds one workday, the employee will be required to submit a statement showing the necessity for such additional absence. If an employee requests and receives orders to take the examination at an induction station other than the nearest location resulting in an absence of more than one day, the time in excess of one day will be charged to annual leave, restored annual leave, accrued compensatory time, accrued compensatory time for travel, credit hours (if applicable), or LWOP.
