SUBTITLE 10. OTHER LEAVES.

7-1001. SCOPE OF SUBTITLE.

THIS SUBTITLE APPLIES TO ALL CLASSIFIED SERVICE AND UNCLASSIFIED
SERVICE EMPLOYEES IN THE STATE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added to clarify the scope of this
subtitle in accordance with long-standing Departmental understanding and
administrative practice.

Defined terms: "Classified service" § 1-101

"State Personnel Management System" § 1-101                               

"Unclassified service" § 1-101

7-1002. MISCELLANEOUS PAID LEAVES.                             

THE SECRETARY MAY PROVIDE BY REGULATION FOR LEAVE WITH PAY:

(1)      FOR JURY SERVICE;

(2)      TO ATTEND EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATION EVENTS APPROVED FOR
THIS PURPOSE BY THE SECRETARY; OR

(3)      UNLESS THE EMPLOYEE IS A PARTY TO THE ACTION OR A PAID
WITNESS, TO APPEAR IN COMPLIANCE WITH A SUBPOENA: '

(I)      IN COURT;

(II)     BEFORE A GRAND JURY;

(III)   BEFORE AN ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT; OR

(IV)    FOR A DEPOSITION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived from former Art. 64A, §
37D(2), (3), and (4).

In this section and in § 7-1003 of this subtitle, the statement that the Secretary
"may provide by regulation" for the specified types of leave is substituted for
the former statement that an employee "may be entitled" to those types of.
leave "pursuant to rules promulgated by the Secretary". In this regard,
however, the State Personnel Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that former Art. 64A, § 37D was
unclear as to whether or to what extent the law was intended to require, rather
than merely authorize, the Secretary to adopt regulations to allow for these
types of leave.

The former reference to "State" employees is deleted as unnecessary in light
of § 7-1001 of this subtitle.

Defined term: "Secretary" § 1-101
