REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived from the third sentence
of former Art. 64A, § 37(a)(3)(ii).

In the introductory clause of this section, the phrase "for personal illness or
disability" is added for clarity. The State Personnel Article Review Committee
notes, however, for consideration by the General Assembly, that the
Committee is uncertain whether the certification requirement was also
intended to apply to leave for family illness or disability.

As to the uniform use in this section and throughout this subtitle of the phrase
"illness or disability", see General Revisor's Note to this subtitle.

(A)     ACCUMULATION AUTHORIZED.

AN EMPLOYEE MAY ACCUMULATE UNUSED SICK LEAVE AND USE IT AT ANY
TIME.
