§ 840-2.23. State leave sharing program eligibility
2. “Household members” means those persons who reside in the same home, who have reciprocal duties to and do provide financial support for one another. This term shall include foster children and legal wards even if they do not live in the household. The term does not include persons sharing the same general house, when the living style is primarily that of a dormitory or commune;
4. “State employee” means an employee with one (1) year or more continuous service with the state. For the purposes of the state leave sharing program, employees who are afforded protections under the Civil Service and Human Capital Modernization Act and administrative rules and exempted employees are eligible to participate; and
F. Except as otherwise provided for in this subsection, the chief administrative officer of the employee shall determine the amount of donated leave an employee may receive and may authorize an employee to use up to a maximum of two hundred sixty-one (261) days of donated leave during total state employment. If the employee is suffering from an illness which has been certified in writing by a licensed physician or health care practitioner as being terminal and the employee who either has reached or shall reach in the near future the maximum amount as set out in this subsection, the chief administrative officer of the employee may approve additional donated leave upon written request of the employee.
G. The chief administrative officer of the employee shall require the employee to submit, prior to approval or disapproval of shared leave pursuant to paragraph 1 of subsection A of this section, a medical certificate from a licensed physician or health care practitioner verifying the need for the leave and expected duration of the illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition for which the leave is donated.
H. Donated annual or sick leave shall be transferable between employees in different state entities. State entities shall allow employees to receive donated annual or sick leave from employees within their employing entity and different state entities; provided, that the employee shall first exhaust all available leave options within the state entity of the employee.
L. Any donated leave not used by the recipient during each occurrence as determined by the chief administrative officer of the employee shall be returned to the donor. The donated leave remaining will be divided among the donors on a prorated basis based on the original donated value and returned at its original donor value and reinstated to the original leave balance of each donor.
O. The Human Capital Management Division of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall designate an employee to serve as the shared leave liaison. If a qualifying employee is unable to obtain the necessary number of donated leave hours from his or her employing entity, he or she may contact the shared leave liaison. The shared leave liaison shall have the following responsibilities:
P. There is hereby created a Leave of Last Resort Bank. In the event a qualifying employee is unable to secure shared leave from employees within his or her employing entity or within a different entity, an employee may request leave from the Leave of Last Resort Bank. The Leave of Last Resort Bank shall be administered by the Human Capital Management Division of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services.
