Transfer of Annual Leave in Excess of Maximum Allowable Accumulation to Sick Leave. All accumulated leave in excess of the authorized maximum is forfeited at the end of leave year. All annual leave forfeited at the end of a leave year for being in excess of an employee’s maximum allowable accumulation must be credited to that employee’s accumulated sick leave. However, if management has denied an employee the opportunity to use leave in excess of the maximum allowable accumulation during that leave year, that amount may be carried over for a period of one year, even if in excess of the maximum allowable accumulation but must be forfeited to sick leave if not used during that period. In addition, subject to budget limitations, an employee may elect to be paid for up to 50 percent of the excess annual leave and transfer the remaining excess annual leave to accumulated sick leave. Moreover, if an employee is on disability leave during the leave year, the employee shall be permitted to carry over any amount of annual leave in excess of the maximum which is equal to the period of the disability leave taken during that year.
