Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Personal
					 leave is leave with pay for personal business, including religious observance,
					 without charge against accumulated vacation or overtime credits. Employees
					 shall be entitled to personal leave, not exceeding a total of five days in a
					 year, to be credited as follows:
(1) An
					 employee credited with personal leave as provided under this section shall
					 continue to be credited with five days' personal leave each year on the
					 anniversary date of the date such employee was so credited.
(2) Any person who was separated or granted a
					 leave of absence without pay from State service prior to the effective date of
					 this Part and is hereafter reemployed or reinstated in State service, and any
					 employee who enters State service after the effective date of this Part, shall
					 be credited with five days' personal leave on the date of such reemployment,
					 reinstatement or entry, as the case may be, and thereafter, except as herein
					 otherwise provided, shall be credited with five days' personal leave each year
					 on the anniversary of such date, and, for the purpose of crediting personal
					 leave, a per diem or hourly paid employee shall be deemed to enter State
					 service on the date on which such employee becomes subject to the application
					 of this Chapter or the date employed if it is anticipated the employee will
					 become subject to this Chapter.
(3)
					 If an employee is separated from State service, or granted a leave of absence
					 without pay from State service, subsequent to the effective date of this Part,
					 and thereafter is reinstated or reemployed within one year following the last
					 date upon which personal leave was credited, the unused personal leave standing
					 to such employee's credit at the time of separation or leave of absence shall
					 be restored and such employee shall retain the same anniversary date for the
					 purposes of crediting personal leave thereafter under this section as that
					 which was applicable to such employee prior to such separation or leave of
					 absence.
(4) If an employee is
					 separated from State service, or granted a leave of absence without pay from
					 State service, subsequent to the effective date of this Part, and thereafter is
					 reinstated or reemployed more than one year following the last date upon which
					 personal leave was credited to the employee, such reinstatement or reemployment
					 shall be deemed to be a new entry into State service for the purposes of
					 crediting personal leave under this Part.
(5) If an employee is appointed, promoted or
					 transferred to another department or agency, the unused personal leave standing
					 to the credit of such an employee at the time of such appointment, promotion or
					 transfer shall also be transferred, and the employee shall retain the same
					 anniversary date for purposes of crediting personal leave as that which was
					 applicable prior to such appointment, promotion or transfer.
