Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment expands bereavement leave to
				  include allowing such leave as a result of the death of the employee's
				  step-sibling or spouse's sibling or step-sibling, and removes obsolete
				  language.
(1) Annual leave or
				vacation with pay shall be governed by the following provisions:
(A) Employees who are employed on a full-time
				basis in positions of a continuing or permanent nature shall be entitled to
				annual leave or vacation with full pay as follows:
1. If they are paid on a semi-monthly pay
				period, computed at the rate of five (5) hours for each semi-month of service,
				in which they are in pay status for eighty (80) or more hours, until they
				complete ten (10) years of total state service. Employees who have completed
				ten (10) years of total state service shall earn annual leave at the rate of
				six (6) hours per semi-month. Employees who have completed fifteen (15) years
				of total state service shall earn annual leave at the rate of seven (7) hours
				per semi-month;
2. For the purposes
				of this rule-
A. For employees paid on a
				semimonthly pay period, any semi-month during which an employee is eligible to
				earn any annual leave credit under this and subsequent sections shall be a
				semi-month of state service. For employees paid on a semi-monthly pay period
				annual leave will be credited at the rate of one-half (1/2) the full-time
				accrual rate for semi-months in which the employee is in pay status from forty
				(40) hours and prorated for all hours in which they are in pay status from
				forty to eighty (40-80) hours;
B.
				Personnel whose normal duties require them to remain on duty at their
				workstation for shifts of twenty-four (24) hours or longer shall be exempt from
				the provisions of this section. Their annual leave compensation shall be as
				established by the appointing authority, subject to review and approval by the
				personnel advisory board, consistent with the work schedule necessary to
				accommodate the safety and convenience of the public;
3. Annual leave shall not be credited to
				employees who have ceased active duty preliminary to separation from the state
				service except that this provision shall not apply to an employee who has
				submitted a formal notice of retirement;
4. Except when granted in accordance with
				subsection (1)(E), annual leave or vacation with pay shall be granted at the
				times public service will best permit and only on written application approved
				by the appointing authority;
5.
				Annual leave shall not be credited to any employee while on a paid leave of
				absence for educational purposes when that leave is for a period of three (3)
				or more months;
6. Notwithstanding
				any other provisions to the contrary, any employee placed on a furlough without
				pay, pursuant to
				1 CSR
				20-3.070(8), or who voluntarily
				requests a leave of absence without pay in lieu of being furloughed, shall
				continue to earn annual leave as if the employee had actually been working
				during the time of the furlough. Upon approval of the appointing authority, an
				employee in a position subject to a furlough may take a voluntary leave of
				absence without pay in lieu of being furloughed;
