AN ACT TO AMEND SECTIONS 8-11-720 AND 8-11-730, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH
CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE LEAVE-TRANSFER PROGRAM, SO AS TO
PROVIDE THE AMOUNT OF LEAVE AN EMPLOYEE MAY DONATE IN ONE YEAR AND TO
PROVIDE THAT APPROVAL BY THE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD OR ITS DESIGNEE
IS FINAL.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Leave transfer program for state employees
SECTION 1. Section 8-11-720 of the 1976 Code, as added by Act 524
of 1988, is amended to read:
"Section 8-11-720. In conformity with guidelines
established by the division and following receipt of additional
information it may require, the employing agency, subject to approval
by the Budget and Control Board or its designee, may select leave
recipients within the agency for participation in the leave-transfer
program from among the potential leave recipients of the agency
requesting leave under Section 8-11-710. The selections of the
employing agency after approval of the Budget and Control Board or its
designee are final, and there is no administrative or judicial appeal
of the selections. Unless the personal emergency involves a medical
condition affecting the leave recipient, the employing agency may
consider the likely impact on morale and efficiency within the agency
in considering a leave recipient's request to use transferred
leave."
Sick and annual leave transfer pool
SECTION 2. Section 8-11-730(A) of the 1976 Code, added by Act 524
of 1988, is amended to read:
"(A) An employee of an employing agency may request
voluntarily, in writing, that a specified number of hours of his
accrued annual or sick leave or both be transferred from his annual or
sick leave account to a pool account the agency establishes to
distribute leave to leave recipients employed by the agency pursuant
to this article, except that an employee with less than fifteen days
in his sick leave account may not transfer any sick leave to the pool
account, and an employee with more than fifteen days in his sick leave
account may transfer sick leave to the pool account if he retains a
minimum of fifteen days in his own sick leave account. An employee may
donate no more than one-half of the annual or sick leave he earns
within a calendar year to the appropriate pool leave account for that
calendar year. Once leave of an employee has been transferred to the
pool account, it may not be restored or returned to the leave
donor."
Time effective
SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Approved the 27th day of February, 1990.
