Question can a leader work a plot?

Quick question for those in the know : once you have assigned somebody as the leader of a city and built it with ROTC, can you then assign them to a plot without unassigning them as leader?
 
They can work a plot which will unassign them from the desk, but they still count as being the leader.
Will this then preserve the leader bonuses?
I've only noticed this from time to time as the leaders took their employment in their own hands and wandered off to other jobs.

Good question, I was fairly certain of how it worked, but went into game to test it, as I've not seen it set down anywhere. After a couple of tests I feel that I have confirmed that the bonuses stay in place, but more it seems down to the fact that they can be assigned to a plot and desk at the same time. I don't know if this is intended or not, as I do remember various times in the past where other settlers had been assigned to work plots but also showed as being assigned to work item.
 
Leader Bonuses most def apply to the settlement even when the leader is working a plot or not assigned to the desk.

It's a little bit of love for us poor schleps who don't use city plans. I take advantage of this as often as I can in my self-built settlements.

How this works with or effects the city plans I can't say.

Sounds like a @kinggath clarification question

Correct - you get the bonus while they work. It's a quirk that I've never bothered to correct because likely the cure will end up causing random unassignment from the leadership role - so would rather just let you guys have some extra food/water/defense/etc than risk that system breaking.

If actually being/staying assigned to the desk was a requirement for the effects of leader traits, no one would ever get Codsworth's. We all know the only thing he stays assigned to is his eyeballs.
