The parties agree that having a uniform process for donation and receipt of annual leave across State government would increase efficiency and understanding of the procedure.

Following approval of this Agreement, the parties agree to address this issue in the Labor/Management Health Care Committee forum(s) to attempt to remove inconsistencies in the processes and draft a uniform procedure.

Proper subjects to be addressed at this meeting include, but are not limited to:

• Conditions under which leave can be received and
• Conditions under which leave can be donated, and
• The procedure for making such a request.

Any changes that would modify the Collective Bargaining Agreement would be implemented in a separate Letter of Understanding that would be submitted to the Civil Service Commission for approval.
