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 in State service on the effective date of this Chapter shall be
				  credited with five days' personal leave on the effective date of this Chapter,
				  and thereafter, except as herein otherwise provided, shall be credited with
				  five days' personal leave each year on the anniversary of the effective date of
				  this Chapter.
(2) Any person who
				  was separated or granted a leave of absence without pay from State service
				  prior to the effective date of this Chapter and is hereafter reemployed or
				  reinstated in State service, and any employee who enters State service after
				  the effective date of this Chapter, 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 he becomes subject
				  to the application of 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 Chapter, and thereafter is reinstated
				  or reemployed within one year following the last date upon which personal leave
				  was credited to him pursuant to this Chapter, the unused personal leave
				  standing to his credit at the time of separation or leave of absence shall be
				  restored to him and he shall retain the same anniversary date for the purposes
				  of crediting personal leave thereafter under this section as that which was
				  applicable to him 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 Chapter, and thereafter is reinstated
				  or reemployed more than one year following the last date upon which personal
				  leave was credited to him pursuant to this Part, 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 his credit at the time of such appointment, promotion or transfer shall be
				  transferred with him, and he shall retain the same anniversary date for
				  purposes of crediting personal leave as that which was applicable to him prior
				  to such appointment, promotion or transfer.
