NAC284.5895. Accounting for absences of exempt classified and unclassified employees.

     1. An absence of an exempt classified employee or exempt unclassified employee for a full workday shall be deemed to be an absence for a period equal to his or her regularly scheduled hours of employment on that workday.

     2. Except when an absence for part of a workday is authorized for family and medical leave, an exempt classified employee or exempt unclassified employee must only account for an absence of one or more full workdays by the use of leave appropriate to the absence and is not required to account for any absence for part of a workday.

     3. An exempt classified employee or exempt unclassified employee must not account for an absence for a full workday by the use of a combination of accrued sick leave and accrued annual leave unless he or she:

     (a) Is on family and medical leave; or

     (b) Has been approved for catastrophic leave and the catastrophic leave is used as a supplement for the remaining sick and annual leave.

     4. If an exempt classified employee or exempt unclassified employee does not have accrued leave appropriate to the absence in an amount sufficient to account for an authorized absence, the employee must be placed on leave of absence without pay for that workday unless he or she is approved to use catastrophic leave.
