When is official time appropriate?

Official time (administrative leave) is appropriate when CBP employees who participate in the equal employment opportunity complaint process as complainants, witnesses, and/or representatives are requested or required to participate during an official administrative (informal and formal) EEO complaint process. Official time must be requested and approved in advance. It is not authorized for participation in federal court EEO proceedings.
