RULE §5.107Employee Leave Pools

(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. The sick leave pool is intended to assist an employee and the employee's immediate family in dealing with a catastrophic illness or injury that forces the employee to exhaust all of the employee's available sick leave.

  (1) The Commissioner of each finance agency is designated as the pool administrator for the respective finance agency's sick leave pool.

  (2) The pool administrator will maintain operating procedures consistent with the requirements of this subsection and relevant law governing operation of the pool.

  (3) Donations to the pool are strictly voluntary.

(c) Family leave pool. A family leave pool is established 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.

  (1) The Commissioner of each finance agency is designated as the pool administrator for the respective finance agency's family leave pool.

  (2) The pool administrator will maintain operating procedures consistent with the requirements of this subsection and relevant law governing operation of the pool.

  (3) Donations to the pool are strictly voluntary.
