SECTION
1.
Code
Section 45-20-16 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to rules
for accrual of leave, holidays, and compensation for closing of state offices,
is amended by revising subsection (a) as follows:
"(a)
As a part of employee compensation, the State Personnel Board shall establish
rules for the accrual and usage of leave and holidays and for compensation due
to emergency closure of state offices or facilities for nontemporary employees.
All agencies of the executive branch, exclusive of the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia, shall provide for the accrual and usage of leave
and holidays and for compensation due to emergency closure of state offices or
facilities for nontemporary employees in accordance with State Personnel Board
rules. On a
day or period during which an employee is furloughed, the employee shall
continue to accrue leave, including sick leave and annual leave, in the same
manner as such leave is accrued on nonfurloughed days. For purposes of this
subsection, the term 'furlough' means a period of time during which an employee
is involuntarily and without cause placed on leave without
pay."
SECTION
2.
This
Act shall become effective upon its approval by the Governor or upon its
becoming law without such approval.
SECTION
3.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
