Such donation may occur between different employing agencies. No employee may donate more than five (5) days of sick leave in a calendar year. Said benefit shall be subject to review and approval by the Commissioner of Administrative Services and shall be applied in accordance with uniform guidelines as may be developed by such Commissioner.
Section Eleven. An employee must be certified, licensed and meet the standards/requirements of any approving bodies (e.g., Nursing Board of Examiners) to transfer to, bump into or be recalled to a position that calls for a particular certification, license or other standard/requirement.
