Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10,
					 2024
(a) Leave for
					 subpoenaed appearance and jury attendance. Upon application to the
					 administrative authority, together with proof satisfactory to the
					 administrative authority of the necessity of each day's absence from work, an
					 employee shall be granted a leave of absence with pay for documented absences
					 resulting from jury service or appearance as a witness pursuant to subpoena or
					 other order of a court or body. Provided, however, that this subdivision shall
					 not apply to any absence by an employee occasioned by such an appearance where
					 the employee, or his or her relative as defined in subdivision (f) of this
					 section, has a personal interest in the underlying action or proceeding; nor
					 shall this subdivision apply to any absence by an employee who receives a fee
					 for testifying as an expert witness. Employees entitled to leave under this
					 subdivision shall not be entitled to receive any remuneration for jury service
					 except mileage and transportation expenses. Should an employee receive a jury
					 fee, the Unified Court System will require reimbursement from the
					 employee.
(b) Leave for civil
					 service examinations. Employees shall be allowed leave with pay to take civil
					 service examinations for positions in the Unified Court System at the
					 appropriate center, or to appear for an official investigation or appointment
					 interview for positions in the competitive, noncompetitive or exempt classes,
					 provided that due notice is given by the employee to the administrative
					 authority.
(c) Leave for
					 quarantine. If an employee who is not ill is required to remain absent because
					 of quarantine and presents a written statement of the attending physician or
					 local health officer proving the necessity of such absence, such employee shall
					 be granted leave with pay for the period of his or her required absence,
					 without charge against accumulated sick leave, annual leave or overtime
					 credits. Prior to return to duty, such employee may be required to submit a
					 written statement from the local health officer having jurisdiction that his or
					 her return to duty will not jeopardize the health of other employees.
(d) Leaves required by law. An employee shall
					 be allowed such other leaves of absence with pay, including military leave, as
					 are required by law.
(e) Leave for
					 civil defense duties. Upon certification by the State Director of Civil Defense
					 of the necessity for the participation in State or local civil defense drills
					 of an employee enrolled as a civil defense volunteer and required to perform
					 civil defense duties, pursuant to the State Defense Emergency Act, the
					 administrative authority may allow such employee to absent himself or herself
					 from his or her position, without loss of pay or charge against leave credits,
					 for such time as is necessary for participation in such drills, but not
					 exceeding cumulatively five workdays per calendar year.
(f) Bereavement Leave.
(1) Leave of up to four consecutive workdays
					 (not to exceed a total of 28 work hours) shall be allowed immediately following
					 the death of an employee's spouse; domestic partner; natural, foster or step:
					 parent, child, brother or sister; father-in-law or mother-in-law; parent of a
					 domestic partner; grandparent or grandchild; any relative residing with the
					 employee; or an individual for whom the employee has been the primary
					 caregiver.
(2) Leave of up to two
					 consecutive workdays (not to exceed a total of 14 work hours) shall be allowed
					 immediately following the death of an employee's son-in-law or
					 daughter-in-law.
(3) Leave of up to
					 one day (not to exceed a total of 7 work hours) shall be allowed immediately
					 following the death of an employee's brother-in-law or sister-in-law.
(4) In exceptional cases where the deceased
					 is unavailable for burial or services, or when there is a delayed memorial
					 service, the Chief Administrator (or his/her designee) may, in his/her
					 discretion, upon an employee's request, waive the requirement that bereavement
					 leave is subject to the terms set forth in subsections (1) through (3)
					 above.
(5) Prior notice and
					 authorization is not required for leave under this subdivision. When a death in
					 an employee's family occurs while the employee is on annual leave, such time is
					 excusable for bereavement leave and shall not be charged to annual
					 leave.
