Executive Order 2475

By virtue of the authority vested in me, I hereby establish the following Executive Order:

The leave privileges accrued in favor of an employee of The Panama Canal, the Canal Zone, or the Panama Railroad, may be commuted in cash, in conformity with existing rules and regulations, notwithstanding the employee shall not have completed ten months service at the time such commutation is made, in all cases in which such employee is transferred to the Fortification work on the Isthmus of Panama under the Chief of Engineers of the United States Army; and such employee shall be entitled to receive in cash the amount due him for such accumulated leave, on the basis of one-twelfth of the annual allowance of cumulative and annual leave for each full month served for which leave has not been granted.
