Unscheduled leave is when a person takes off but has not put in a leave slip. Yes, this does cause scheduling problems for management.
OIG does all sorts of charts and number crunching and tells management to shape up.
BUT---OIG never asks the right questions---Why do people take unscheduled leave?
OIG showed 538,680 hours of unscheduled leave but 158,780 of it was LWOP (leave without pay).
Only a desperate employee would resort to LWOP. Taking off and not getting paid? There have to be good reasons for it. OIG casts another blind eye to where they could be of good use. OIG just plays with the numbers and, just like management, has no clue as to what is happening with the lives of its people.
Here is just another in a line of audits by OIG which fail to see the obvious.
