How is Personal Leave time adjusted when an employee changes from full-time to part-time employment?
According to DAS Letter No. 30 (PDF), when an employee transitions from full-time to part-time employment, their Personal Leave balances are adjusted to reflect an amount equal to three days of Personal Leave for that calendar year. This adjustment is effective from the date of the schedule change and takes into consideration both the schedule worked when the Personal Leave was used and the new work schedule.
For example, if an employee moves from a 40-hour workweek to a 25-hour workweek and had not used any Personal Leave time prior to this change, their Personal Leave would be adjusted from three 8-hour days to three 5-hour days, or from 24 hours to 15 hours. If the employee had used some Personal Leave time prior to the schedule change, the balance must be adjusted so that the employee does not exceed three days of Personal Leave in a calendar year.
