55.0.1. For the purposes of this Act, an absence without pay is an absence that is provided for in the officer’s conditions of employment and authorized by the officer’s employer, for which the officer does not receive pay, and during which the officer would have been expected to perform or could have performed work had it not been for the absence.
The Government may, by regulation, determine any other absence that constitutes an absence without pay and for which, if applicable, the absent person is considered an officer.
