			 appointment, emergency appointment or extraordinary appointment, the appointing
			 authority shall make written request for certification of names on a form
			 prescribed by the Director. This form shall contain a statement of the class

			 reasonable time in advance of the date the new employee is to begin

. When a request for certification of eligibles is
			 received by the Director, he shall certify the highest ten eligibles on the
			 most appropriate employment register plus the names of all those whose grades
			 are tied with the tenth highest eligible, and if more than one vacancy is to be
			 filled the name of one additional eligible for each additional vacancy. At the
			 request of the appointing authority, preference in certification may be given
			 to eligibles who have been legal residents of the State of Alabama for at least
			 twelve months prior to the date the register was established. If it should
			 prove impossible to locate any of the persons so certified, or if it should
			 become known to the Director that any person is not willing to accept the
			 position, the appointing authority may request that additional names be
			 certified until the correct number of persons eligible and available for

			 those certified to fill the vacancy. "An appointing officer who passes over an
			 eligible veteran and selects a non-veteran with the same or lower rating shall
			 file with the Director the reasons for so doing."

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Every person appointed to a position in the classified service
				after certification of his name from a promotion list or an employment list
				shall be tested by a probationary period while occupying such position. During
				this period the employee may be removed if he is unable or unwilling to perform
				his duties satisfactorily or if for any other reason he is found to be
				unsuitable for continuance in service. Such removal shall be accomplished by
				notice in writing to the employee. If any employee is removed from his position
				during or at the end of his probationary period, and the Director determines
				that he is suitable for appointment to another position, his name may be
				restored to the list from which it was certified. If any such employee was a
				regular employee in another position within the same agency in the classified
				service immediately prior to his appointment, he shall be returned to his
				regular classification. If his promotion has been in a state agency other than
				the one in which he held regular status, he may return to the agency at which
				he held regular status, at the discretion of the appointing
				authority.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) Notwithstanding
			 any departmental policy to the contrary, it shall be the policy of the State of
			 Alabama to use compensatory time, rather than paid overtime to compensate
			 employees subject to the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act for
			 performing overtime work. Departmental overtime policies contrary to the
			 overall state policy must be approved by the State Personnel Board. Approval by
			 the State Personnel Board may be made in those cases where compelling reasons
			 are cited by the appointing authority. Overtime, overtime compensation, and
			 compensatory time are defined by the terms as used in the Fair Labor Standards
			 Act.
(2) Payment for Accumulated
			 Compensatory Time Upon Separation from State Service. Upon separation from
			 state service a nonexempt employee, as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act,
			 is entitled to be paid for accumulated compensatory time. Employees other than
			 persons designated as law enforcement officers by the Code of Alabama and
			 persons designated as seasonal workers by the State Personnel Department are
			 entitled to be paid for accumulated compensatory time earned but in no event
			 for an amount greater than 240 hours. Those persons defined as law enforcement
			 officers or seasonal employees are entitled to payment for earned accumulated
			 compensatory time upon separation from state service but in no event an amount
			 greater than 480 hours. Under no circumstance shall FLSA exempt employees be
			 entitled to compensatory time or paid overtime without the approval of the
			 Board. Any employee found to violate this rule may be liable for the repayment
			 of the time improperly credited or paid.
(3) Accumulated compensatory time obligations
			 are not transferable from department to department. Any accumulated
			 compensatory time obligation must be liquidated by the department in which the
			 obligation was incurred, prior to the transfer.
(4) Exempt employees, as defined by the Fair
			 Labor Standards Act, are not entitled to compensatory time, unless specified by
			 law or approved by the Board.
(5)
			 Use of Compensatory Time. Accumulated compensatory time shall be used before
			 annual leave is used. Supervisors may require employees to use compensatory
			 time. However, compensatory time may not be granted in order for an employee to
			 engage in any other employment during his scheduled working hours.

			 attempt to schedule any compensatory leave day provided in lieu of a regularly
			 scheduled holiday, subject to the approval of the supervisor, during the
			 quarter that the regularly scheduled holiday occurred. In the event that any
			 compensatory leave day cannot be scheduled during the designated quarter, then
			 the compensatory leave day may be accumulated at the request of the employee
			 for a period up to one year. Supervisors failing to schedule compensatory leave
			 days for employees within the quarter, unless the day is carried forward at the
			 request of the employee, must justify that action in writing to the Director
			 and the employee shall receive pay at a rate not less than the employee's usual
			 customary rate of pay for any compensatory leave day to which he may be
			 entitled and which has not been taken.

Alabama Administrative Code › Title 670 - ALABAMA STATE PERSONNEL BOARD › Chapter 670-X-15 - OTHER TYPES OF LEAVE › Section 670-X-15-.06 - Mandatory Annual Leave And/Or Leave Without Pay

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1) An appointing authority, with the
			 approval of the Director, may require an employee to use accumulated annual
			 leave under certain circumstances when the appointing authority deems the
			 employee's absence from work to be in the best interests of the agency.
			 Examples of such circumstances would include a period of time when the employee
			 is under investigation that may lead to disciplinary proceedings, the period of
			 time pending a disciplinary hearing after the employee has received notice of
			 such hearing, and at such times as the employee is physically incapacitated
			 from performing the work assignment (such as in a state of
			 intoxication).
(2) Under similar
			 circumstances as enumerated in (1) above, when the employee has no accumulated
			 annual leave or insufficient annual leave, the appointing authority may
			 nevertheless require the employee to vacate the work station for a specified
			 period of time in the status of leave without pay. Such action by the
			 appointing authority should be preceded by a notice to the employee that such
			 action is contemplated and an opportunity for the employee to be heard in
			 response.
(3) The Director shall
			 have the discretion to restore accumulated annual leave expended under the
			 provisions of (1) above, and/or approve a subsequent reinstatement of pay
			 forfeited by the employee during the leave without pay status provided for in
			 (2) above.
