| Section
135.01 Program.
(a) An employee subject to the provisions of Part 24 of
this Title who maintains a sick leave balance in excess of
15 accumulated sick leave days standing to his or her credit
may, at his or her option, assign any sick leave credits in
excess of the 15 days to annual salaried nonjudicial employees
who have exhausted all of their sick leave, annual leave and
compensatory time credits. A donor may assign sick leave credits
only in full-day seven-hour units.
(b) Assignment of sick leave credits shall be made on forms
provided by the Chief Administrator and assigned sick leave
credits shall be deducted from the donating employee's sick
leave accruals immediately upon submission of the form.
(c) An employee who receives donated sick leave credits
pursuant to this program may not be credited with a total
of more than 130 days of such sick leave credits and shall
not be eligible to apply for benefits pursuant to section
24.4(k)-(l) of this Title until all such donated sick leave
credits, and any accrued annual leave and sick leave, are
exhausted. An employee shall continue to earn and accrue annual
leave and sick leave credits while utilizing assigned credits
under this program.
(d) Any donated sick leave credits not used by an employee
shall be retained by that employee, except that any such credits
remaining at the time of the employee's separation from service
shall not be used for any separation or post-separation benefit.
(e) Upon separation from service for reasons other than
retirement, and notwithstanding the minimum balance requirements
set forth in subdivision (a), an employee may donate all
of his or her accrued and unused sick leave credits to any
nonjudicial employee eligible to receive such donations.
No employee who is removed from service as a result of disciplinary
action, or who resigns after charges of incompetency or misconduct
have been served against him or her, shall be entitled to
donate sick leave credits under this provision.
