4.14 Transfer of Sick Leave Credits from other Political Subdivisions. Employees who enter positions covered by these rules from other state agencies not covered by these rules (including the judicial or legislative branches of state government, institutions of higher education, the Constitutional Offices, certain sheriffs' departments, the district attorneys, and other state agencies, but excluding state authorities and all other political subdivisions), and who had unused accumulated sick leave credits at the time of their termination from such other state agencies, may be allowed to transfer such unused accumulated sick leave credits upon approval in writing by the Appointing Authority and the Personnel Administrator.
This transfer of credits will be allowed provided that there has been less than a three-year break in service from the date of termination of employment in such other state agency, and that the employee has not already been compensated for such credits by the previous employer.
The amount of credits to be transferred will be limited to the amount allowed for creditable service under Rule 4.01, and reduced by the amount of credits actually used during such previous employment. For example, a full-time employee who worked one year for a college, earned sick leave credits at the rate of two days per month for a total of 24 days and used three of those days would only be able to transfer 12 of the remaining 21 days (based on the 15 day/year accrual rate in Rule 4.01).
