AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 02-03-061, filed 1/10/02, effective 3/1/02)

WAC 356-18-100   Accrued vacation leave disposition -- Computation -- How made.   (1) When an employee separates from service by reason of resignation with adequate notice, layoff, dismissal, retirement or death, he or she is entitled to a lump sum payment of unused vacation leave. The compensation shall be computed by using the formula published by the office of financial management. No contributions are to be made to the department of retirement systems (DRS) for lump sum payment of excess vacation leave accumulated under the provisions of WAC 356-18-095(2), nor shall such payment be reported to the DRS as compensation.

     (2) Employees may defer the payment of their accumulated vacation leave for which otherwise entitled for a period of 30 working days if the separation resulted from a reduction in force and there is a reasonable probability of reemployment, or if the separation resulted from employees returning to classified positions from exempt positions under the provision of RCW 41.06.070(((22), 41.06.100,)) or WAC 356-06-055. Seasonal career employees, as defined in WAC 356-05-380, may defer payment of their accumulated vacation leave during the period between consecutive employment cycles.

     (3) The separation cited in subsection (2) of this section will not be regarded as a break in service for purposes of computing the rates of crediting vacation leave prescribed in WAC 356-18-090, provided the employees return to employment other than by certification from the open competitive register.
