Shifts E. Position Deletions A. General Information Terminal leave is the dollar amount of the employee's annual leave balance which may be due any employee who terminates a fiscal based regular position. The terminal leave amount is calculated by the Personnel Department, and payment is charged to the position in which the individual was last employed.
Special precautions are necessary to avoid budget overexpenditures.
In cases where the terminal leave will not carry over into the next fiscal year, the Personnel Department will authorize the payment. Budget overexpenditures will be controlled by not allowing a new appointment to the position until additional funds are made available or the balance remaining in the position is sufficient. In cases where the terminal leave is large enough that the days extend into the next fiscal year, the Personnel Department will contact the department and advise them that a budget revision must be processed before payment is made. If an advance is requested, the Office of Financial Planning will ini- tiate paperwork to reduce the next fiscal year budget by the amount of the advance, and Personnel will not allow a new appointment until funds are available. If a lump sum payment is not requested, the position cannot be filled until the leave has been paid.
