Requesting Adjustments to Military Orders
In cases where the absence of employees in connection with military activities threatens to deplete the staff of a Department office to a point where it will be extremely difficult or impossible to operate, the head of the unit concerned should discuss (with the appropriate military authorities) the possibility of having a sufficient number of employees excused to continue adequate operation of the work unit affected. If this matter cannot be settled at the local level, it should be referred to the head of the operating unit for further action.
