B. Accumulated Leave.

(1) The Service shall:

(a) Permit an employee who is in the State Personnel Management System and who transfers to the Service human resources system to retain some or all of the employee's accumulated annual leave, sick leave, personal leave, or compensatory leave that is unused as of the date the employee transfers to the Service human resources system; or

(b) Fairly compensate the employee for the value of the annual leave, sick leave, personal leave, or compensatory leave which the employee may not retain.

(2) The Service shall determine the amount of compensation due an employee under §B(1)(b) of this regulation by multiplying the number of accumulated, unused annual leave, sick leave, personal leave, and compensatory leave days, as converted from hours, by a sum equal to 1/10 of the employee's final biweekly salary as a member of the State Personnel Management System.

(3) Leave that is retained by an employee who transfers from the State Personnel Management System to the Service human resources system expires in the same manner as leave expires in COMAR 17.04.11.
