A state employee may not be paid for more than 80 hours in a payroll period during which the employee uses sick leave credited to the employee’s account as a result of a transfer from another state employee’s vacation account.
(b) The recipient employee must receive donations, as available, for a life-threatening condition of the employee or spouse or dependent child that prevents the employee from working. A recipient may use program donations retroactively to when all forms of paid leave are exhausted if the employee has sufficient donations to cover the period of retroactivity.
