Does Agent X need to file an SF-71 for COP?

Yes, always
No, for COP
Yes, for AL
No, for SL

The correct answer is: No, for COP

In the context of leave policies for federal employees, particularly those serving in law enforcement positions like border patrol agents, the SF-71 form is essential for various types of leave requests. COP, which stands for "Compensatory Time Off," allows employees to take time off as compensation for hours worked beyond the normal schedule. When it concerns the request for COP, filing an SF-71 form is not necessary. This is because COP is generally earned through overtime and does not require the same formal approval process as sick leave, annual leave, or other types of leave that typically necessitate the form. The streamlined process for COP is designed to facilitate the time-off request for employees who have worked extra hours, acknowledging their efforts without the additional administrative burden. On the other hand, other types of leave — such as annual leave (AL) or sick leave (SL) — require the completion of an SF-71 form to formally document the request. These leaves are associated with different regulations and policies, making the form critical for ensuring proper management and tracking of an employee's leave balances and entitlements.
