Assumption of accrued annual leave or an enhanced annual leave accrual

1. A state agency appointing authority employing an individual from another state agency shall accept all or only a part of the employee's accrued annual leave hours the employee requests to transfer. If the individual granted an interagency transfer from another state agency previously was granted an enhanced annual leave accrual rate, the hiring agency may continue the enhanced rate only if the individual is hired into a designated hard-to-fill position, as defined in section 4-07-12-04. If the individual is not hired into a designated hard-to-fill position, the individual's annual leave accrual rate must revert to the standard rate based on total years of qualifying service, as defined in section 4-07-12-04. State agencies shall accept all or a part of accrued annual leave hours a human service zone employee requests to transfer, if the employee occupies a position classified by human resource management services. 2. A human service zone board shall accept all or a part of accrued annual leave hours an employee requests to transfer from another human service zone board or a state agency, if the employee occupies a position classified by human resource management services.
