Title

Donated leave, limitation on hours of leave a state employee may contribute to another state employee who has qualified for catastrophic sick leave, removed, Sec. 36-26-35.2 am'd.

Summary

SB100 would let state employees donate unlimited hours of accrued and unused leave to colleagues who have catastrophic illness or maternity leave, removing the donor-side cap while keeping a recipient cap.

What This Bill Does

The bill allows donated leave from a state employee to another state employee who has qualified for catastrophic sick leave or maternity leave. Donations must be approved by the donor's appointing authority, and if the donor earns less than the recipient, approval from the State Personnel Board is also required. The recipient's appointing authority can limit how many hours the recipient may receive for each catastrophic illness or maternity event. There is still a limit that no employee may receive more than 480 hours of donated leave in their career without SPB approval.

Who It Affects

• State employees who want to donate leave: can contribute more hours than before, subject to approvals from their appointing authority and, if applicable, the State Personnel Board when the donor's pay grade is lower than the recipient.
• State employees who may need donated leave: those who have qualified for catastrophic sick leave or maternity leave and may receive donated hours, subject to the recipient's appointing authority limits and the career-total cap of 480 hours (with SPB approval for exceptions).

Key Provisions

• Allows donation of accrued and unused annual, sick, or compensatory leave to another state employee who has qualified for catastrophic sick leave or maternity leave.
• Donations require the donor's appointing authority approval; if the donor is in a lower pay grade than the recipient, approval from the State Personnel Board is also required.
• The recipient's appointing authority may limit the number of hours the recipient may receive per catastrophic illness or maternity leave.
• No employee may receive more than 480 hours of donated leave in their career without approval from the State Personnel Board.
