Shared Leave The purpose of the leave sharing program is to permit state employees, to donate leave to come to the aid of another state employee who has been called to service in the uniformed services, who is responding to a state of emergency anywhere within the United States declared by the federal or state government, who is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, or who is suffering from or has a relative or household member suffering from an extraordinary or severe illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition, which has caused or is likely to cause the employee to take leave without pay or terminate their employment. For purposes of the leave sharing program, the following definitions apply:
▇▇▇▇ Leave For laid off employees, sick leave accruals shall remain on the books and be reinstated if such employees are re-appointed. Whenever a person becomes ineligible for re-employment and such person has not been re-employed, then, if at the point of layoff, such person was eligible to receive a sick leave accrual payoff, such person shall be paid for existing sick leave accruals in accordance with Item 12 of the Ventura County Firemen's Association 1976-1978 Memorandum of Understanding.
Casual Leave Employees may be granted casual leave with pay to a maximum of two (2) hours for the following purposes:
▇▇▇▇▇’s leave 22.2.1 In normal circumstances an employee is not entitled to take carer's leave where another person has taken simultaneous leave to care for the same person.
