HOUSE BILL 786

 

 

AN ACT TO ALLOW SPECIFIED SCHOOL EMPLOYEES TO BE PAID FOR UNUSED ANNUAL VACATION TIME.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1. G.S. 115C-272(b)(2) is amended by rewriting the last sentence to read: "An employee shall be paid in a lump sum for accumulated annual leave not to exceed a maximum of 240 hours when separated from service due to resignation, dismissal, reduction in force, death, or service retirement. If the last day of terminal leave falls on the last workday in the month, payment shall be made for the remaining non-workdays in that month. Employees retiring on disability retirement may exhaust annual leave rather than be paid in a lump sum. The provisions of this subdivision shall be accomplished without additional State and local funds being appropriated for this purpose. The State Board of Education shall adopt rules and regulations for the administration of this subdivision."

Sec. 2. G.S. 115C-285(a)(2) is amended by rewriting the last sentence to read: "An employee shall be paid in a lump sum for accumulated annual leave not to exceed a maximum of 240 hours when separated from service due to resignation, dismissal, reduction in force, death, or service retirement. If the last day of terminal leave falls on the last workday in the month, payment shall be made for the remaining non-workdays in that month. Employees retiring on disability retirement may exhaust annual leave rather than be paid in a lump sum. The provisions of this subdivision shall be accomplished without additional State and local funds being appropriated for this purpose. The State Board of Education shall adopt rules and regulations for the administration of this subdivision."

Sec. 3. G.S. 115C-316(a)(4) is amended by rewriting the last sentence to read: "An employee shall be paid in a lump sum for accumulated annual leave not to exceed a maximum of 240 hours when separated from service due to resignation, dismissal, reduction in force, death, or service retirement.
