1.0 POLICY
The City of Greensboro grants leave with pay for certain official duties performed by benefit
eligible employees of the City while away from their normal work sites.

The City recognizes that there will be times when an employee will be away from his
normal work site while performing his official duties or to attend a professional meeting or
conference. In order to be able to document the employee is acting in an official capacity, the City
created official duty leave. This leave provides documentation for worker’s compensation as well
as demonstrates for the public that the employee is authorized to be away from his normal work
site on official business. When the employee is authorized to be away from his normal work site
outside the City as covered in this policy, the employee is on official duty leave.
Arelated leave, used for a slightly different purpose is Educational Leave.
