What it does
AI summary Effective July 1, 1978, this order allows certain permanent, full-time state employees to receive four hours of vacation time instead of 12 hours of sick leave for any calendar month in which they use no sick leave. To be eligible, employees must have at least 30 days of accrued sick leave and must not be covered by specific collective bargaining agreements or hold faculty rank within Board of Regents institutions. Employees who choose this option can accumulate up to an additional 12 days of vacation beyond twice their annual vacation and unscheduled holiday entitlement.1
The Legislature’s description: Allows an eligible state employee who has not used any sick-leave for a calendar month to receive four hours of vacation time in lieu of accruing 12 hours of sick leave for that month.
