All eligible staff (working 20 hours or more per week) shall earn annual leave. Aggregate State service determines the amount earned by full-time employees, per the schedule below. Eligible part-time employees will earn annual leave on a pro-rated basis.
| Years of State Service | Hours Earned/Month | Total Earned per Year |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 5 years | 9.33 | 14 days |
| 5 but less than 10 | 11.33 | 17 days |

Sick Leave
Employees who work on an average of 40 hours per week earn sick leave at the rate of one day per calendar month. Employees working less than 40 hours per week will earn sick leave on a prorated basis. Leave can be taken for personal illness and illness of individuals closely related to the employee.
Voluntary Shared Leave
An employee may donate leave to an employee who has been approved to receive voluntary shared leave because of a medical condition of the employee or of a member of the employee’s immediate family that will require the employee’s absence for a prolonged period of time. This policy outlines the rules for sharing leave.
