Employees must submit a written request to their appointing authority to approve special, parental, educational, or personal educational leave.
Extended leave also applies to employees using leave through the Sick Leave Bank or Division of Claims Administration.
Approval of extended leave allows the employee to return to their position according to the written approval’s terms, as long as the position still exists.
If a job is so unique that the agency can’t fill it temporarily after reasonable efforts, the agency isn’t required to reinstate the employee at the end of the leave period.
