(a) Generally. The finance agencies maintain policies
for establishing and administering the sick leave pool and family
leave pool of each respective finance agency.
(b) Sick leave pool. A sick leave pool is established
to allow employees to transfer accrued sick leave to the pool to be
used by employees who are eligible to withdraw time from the pool.

immediate family in dealing with a catastrophic illness or injury
that forces the employee to exhaust all of the employee's available
sick leave.

as the pool administrator for the respective finance agency's sick
leave pool.

procedures consistent with the requirements of this subsection and
relevant law governing operation of the pool.

to allow employees to transfer accrued sick leave or vacation leave
to the pool to be used by employees who are eligible to withdraw time
from the pool. The family leave pool is intended to provide employees
the flexibility to bond with and care for children during a child's
first year following birth, adoption, or foster placement; or to care
for a seriously ill family member or the employee, including illnesses
or complications resulting from a pandemic.
