Termination While on Leave. If an employee resigns while on annual/personal leave (for non-medical reasons), or resigns without at least 14 calendar days notice upon return from such leave no leave accrual shall be credited for the period of leave. If an employee resigns while on leave, the termination date becomes the last day worked. When either condition exists, the remarks on the Personnel Action shall be "Resigned while on leave, no accrual due." If the appointing authority approves a leave of absence for an employee after receiving a letter of resignation, leave accrual is credited, however, the employee must be in work status, not on leave, on the last day of employment. Any sick leave taken after a letter of resignation has been accepted should be supported by a physician's statement, unless the appointing authority is satisfied that the absence is for bona fide sick/medical leave. If an employee is on paid leave, due to illness or injury, and is ultimately unable to return to work (must separate from State service), the period of leave is not considered terminal leave. Regardless of the source of paid leave used in conjunction with the absence, the entire period of paid leave is treated as "sick/medical " leave for purposes of leave accrual.

If Premiums are not paid by an Employee within thirty-one (31) days of the Premium due date, coverage ends as of the due date of that Premium contribution.
