Use of Legislative Leave. Legislative leave is credited to the employee upon the statutory adjournment of the regular session or the adjournment sine die of the regular session, whichever occurs later. With the implementation of a new HR Management System, it is the parties’ expectation that, subject to Article 59, legislative leave may be available for use in the pay period following the period when it is granted. Accrued legislative leave must be used in the legislative biennium in which it is earned. Unused legislative leave lapses upon convening of the next First Regular Session. Legislative employees must schedule all legislative leave in advance and in consultation with the employee’s office director. Use of legislative leave is subject to operational needs of the office. Legislative leave has no cash value; therefore, an employee may not be paid for unused legislative leave upon termination of legislative employment.
