Authority: IC 4-15-2.2-19

Affected: IC 4-15-2.2

Sec. 6.

(a) Subject to prior approval by the director, an appointing authority may authorize leave with pay for an employee for the purpose of securing special education or training, other than departmental in-service, directly appropriate to the employee's position, and which will result in benefit to the state.

(b) The appointing authority may allow leave with pay, not to exceed the employee's next three (3) regularly scheduled work days, in the event of the death of any relative specified in this section. The amount of time granted ordinarily will depend upon the closeness of relationship to the deceased and amount of travel necessitated by attendance at the funeral. Such leave may be granted upon the death of a:

(1) husband;

(2) wife;

(3) father;

(4) mother;

(5) son;

(6) daughter;

(7) brother;

(8) sister;

(9) grandparent;

(10) grandchild;

(11) spouse of any of these; or

(12) person living in the same household with the employee.

For married employees, these members of the spouse's family are included.

(c) Employees, except employees paid by the hour or day, who are lawfully required to report for jury duty, or to serve as witnesses before any body or agency having subpoena powers, shall be granted leaves of absence by their appointing authorities from their positions during the required absence for such duty. When such leaves of absence are granted for jury duty or to serve as witnesses in matters relating to employment with the state, they shall receive that portion of their regular salary from the state which will, together with the compensation for such court service, equal their total regular salary for the same period.

(d) Employees who are members of the Armed Forces Reserves or the National Guard shall be entitled to a leave of absence, not to exceed fifteen (15) work days in any calendar year, without loss of pay or vacation time. The employee shall be required to submit a written order or official statement requiring the military duty.
