Senate Bill No. 503
(By Senator Chernenko)
____________
[Introduced March 22, 1993; referred to the Committee
on Government Organization.]
____________
A BILL to amend article six, chapter twenty-nine of the code of
West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as
amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated section
twenty-seven, relating to the division of personnel
establishing a leave donation program whereby employees may
donate unused leave days to other employees.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That article six, chapter twenty-nine of the code of West
Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, be
amended by adding thereto a new section, designated section
twenty-seven, to read as follows:
§29-6-27. Leave Donation Program.
Within six months after the effective date of this section,
the division of personnel after consultation with other state
agencies shall establish a program under which annual leave
accrued or accumulated by an employee of an agency may be
transferred to the annual leave account of any other employee inthat agency if such other employee requires additional leave
because of a medical emergency. A "medical emergency" means a
medical condition of a employee or a family member of such
employee that is likely to require the prolonged absence of such
employee from duty and to result in a substantial loss of income
to such employee because of the unavailability of paid leave.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to allow state employees
to donate unused leave days to other state employees who have
exhausted their leave days due to an emergency situation.
This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and
underscoring have been omitted.
