Memorandum


The Division of Personnel is unable to provide a specific measure as the language of the bill is unclear as to which specific state employees the law would apply and there is no definition pertaining to "child" (e.g., stepchild, foster child, legal guardianship relationship, in loco parentis, etc.). Other questions include: 1) Will the leave be credited on a calendar year? 2) Will the special leave require modifications to the wvOASIS system? 3) What happens if the employee does not make a good-faith effort to schedule the time off "so as to not unduly interfere with the operations of the work unit or require the applicable agency to incur additional human resources or overtime costs"?
