Use of Leave Credits. The employee may utilize any accumulated leave time (compensatory, deferred hours, annual,) in lieu of taking such time off without pay. Such time off shall not be detrimental in any way to the employee's record. When the employee elects to utilize annual leave credits, the employee may "buy back" such credits without limitation or restriction subject to the following regulations: a. Employees shall be permitted annual leave absence from work for such Union business up to a maximum of their accrued credits. b. The employee/Union may reinstate such expended credits used in the previous six months by payment to the Department at the employee's gross salary and the Employer’s share of the employee’s insurance premiums. This provision shall be administered in compliance with applicable tax statutes. c. Except as may be mutually agreed otherwise on a case-by-case basis, employees/Union shall be allowed to exercise the option of reinstating annual leave for employees at the end of each fiscal year quarter. The required check to "buy-back" the last quarter shall be submitted no later than August 30th. If the annual leave used for Union business causes the employee’s annual leave accruals to be insufficient to cover previously approved annual leave, the employee/Union will be allowed to pay for such reinstatement anytime during the quarter. The Union agrees to furnish the Employer the name of the President's designee, in writing, within 30 calendar days following the effective date, or date of approval, of this Agreement, whichever occurs first.
