As an agency of the state of North Carolina, NC State University is required to follow various federal and state laws and regulations, as well as policies and regulations of the University of North Carolina. 1. Introduction The voluntary shared leave policy allows an employee to assist another state employee affected by a personal or immediate family member’s medical condition that requires absence from work for a prolonged period of time resulting in a possible loss of income due to a lack of accumulated leave. Immediate family members include spouse, child, parent, mother, father, sister, brother, grandparent, great grandparent, grandchild, and great grandchildren or other dependent living in the household including step and in-law relationships. 2. Covered Employees Twelve-month EPA and permanent or probationary SPA (Staff) employees with serious and prolonged medical conditions requiring absence from work for at least 20 days may apply to receive shared leave. If the employee has had random absences for the same condition or has had a previous, but different prolonged medical condition within the last 12 months, an exception to the 20-day period may be made. The applicant’s sick and vacation leave balances combined must be 160 hours or less. An employee receiving benefits from the Disability Income Plan of North Carolina is not eligible. However, shared leave may be used during the required waiting period. An employee who has received formal disciplinary action for abuse of leave within the previous 12 months is not eligible. An employee on workers’ compensation may be eligible for shared leave during the required waiting period and for supplemental use afterwards. |
