Okla. Admin. Code § 260:25-15-10 - General Annual and Sick Leave Policies
(a) Employees are eligible for annual leave
and sick leave with full pay according to law and the rules in this Chapter.
Temporary employees and other limited term employees are ineligible to accrue,
use or be paid for sick leave and annual leave [74:840-2.20(A) (3)].
(b) The tables in Appendix B of this Chapter
list leave accrual rates and accumulation limits. OAC
260:25-15-11 and
260:25-15-12 also govern annual
and sick leave.
(c) Annual and sick
leave accrual rates and accumulation limits are based on cumulative periods of
employment calculated in the manner that cumulative service is determined for
longevity purposes [74:840-2.20(A) (1)]. For purposes of this Subchapter and
the longevity pay program , cumulative service shall be calculated as prescribed
in this subsection.
(1) State employment with
any agency in any branch of state government including service under the
administrative authority of the Regents for Higher Education and the Department
of Vocational and Technical Education shall be qualifying for purposes of
calculating cumulative service. Cumulative service includes periods of
part-time qualifying employment in excess of 2/5 time that were continuous for
at least 5 months and any period of full-time employment described in (A)
through (F) of this paragraph:
(A) Full-time
or part-time employment;
(B)
Temporary or other time-limited employment;
(C) Paid leave;
(D) Leave without pay of 30 continuous
calendar days or less; and
(E)
Leave without pay in excess of 30 calendar days taken under Section
840-2.21 of Title 74 of the
Oklahoma Statutes. Any other leave without pay in excess of 30 calendar days
shall not be counted as cumulative service.
(F) Time spent performing services during
which the person, rather than the entity the person was employed by, received
compensation for duties performed for the state if payment for such service was
made using state fiscal resources, including time spent acting as an
administrative law judge within the executive department.
(2) Periods of service that are described in
(1) of this subsection, shall be combined for purposes of determining
cumulative service and the total shall be expressed in whole years. Partial
years, less than 12 months, are dropped.
(d) Annual leave and sick leave shall accrue
only when an employee is actually working, on authorized leave with pay, or
during the time the employee is using paid leave to supplement workers
compensation benefits under Section
332 of Title 85. Leave shall not
accrue after the last day the employee works.
(e) An employee using paid leave to
supplement workers compensation benefits under Section
332 of Title 85 of the Oklahoma
Statutes shall be in leave without pay status.
(f) An Appointing Authority may terminate an
employee who is absent from work after the employee has exhausted all of his or
her sick and annual leave accumulations or paid maternity leave provided by
Section 840-2.20D of Title 74 of the
Oklahoma Statutes unless the absence is covered by
260:25-15-45 or
260:25-15-49. This subsection
does not prevent an Appointing Authority from granting leave without pay
according to
260:25-15-47.
