Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 60L-34.0043 - Regular Compensatory Leave

(1) If an agency requires an excluded career service employee to work hours in excess of the regular work period or an approved extended work period, the employee shall, with agency approval, earn regular compensatory leave credits on an hour-for-hour basis; provided, no employee may accrue more than 240 hours.

(2) Agencies shall make reasonable efforts to allow employees to use regular compensatory leave credits. An agency may require an employee to use the credits.

(3) Leave credits shall not transfer to another agency or pay plan. Unused credits shall be forfeited upon separation from the agency or the pay plan.

(a) No cash payments shall be made for any regular compensatory leave credits earned prior to the effective date of the plan.

(b) Payment shall be made at the employee's straight time regular hourly rate of pay.

(c) Payment shall be made in a lump sum, and may be made annually or at more frequent intervals as determined by the agency.
