- Converted Sick Leave – An employee separating from state service for reasons other than retirement will be paid in a lump sum at their current hourly rate for all converted sick leave.
- Sick Leave – Unless retiring, an employee separating from state employment shall forfeit any unused sick leave without compensation.
- Accural or use of leave after LDW – Annual, sick and holiday leave may not be used or accrued after the last day worked.
- Rehired within one year / RIF – An employee rehired into a benefited position within one year of separation due to a reduction in force shall have forfeited sick leave reinstated to Program I and Program II as accrued prior to the reduction in force.
- Rehired within one year / non-RIF – An employee rehired with benefits within one year of separation for reasons other than a reduction in force shall have forfeited sick leave reinstated as Program III sick leave.
