Can an agency allow an Excepted employee to take a furlough?

Can an agency allow employees deemed as “Excepted” to take furlough so the employee can take previously approved annual leave? Basically a work around that leave is cancelled yet employees are still taking the time off using furlough. Employee A is Excepted but his agency allows him to take a week off for vacation then come back to work.
