10-7-13. Leave; coordination with workmen's compensation benefits.

A. Payment of leave-time benefits in excess of an amount which results, when combined with workmen's compensation weekly benefits, in an injured state or university worker receiving in any month more than one hundred percent of that workman's monthly base salary is not permitted; provided that payment of accrued vacation leave time and compensating leave-time benefits may be permitted without regard to this limitation where the workman is finally determined to be permanently totally disabled or resigns his state or university employment.

B. As used in this section:

(1) "leave time" includes time accrued as sick leave, vacation leave and compensating leave; and

(2) "monthly base salary" means the full monthly salary to be paid the employee if he had worked as scheduled for the entire month, as established by the state personnel board's official salary schedule, or the official salary schedule of any state agency or university in effect during the last pay period during which the employee worked, exclusive of all overtime pay and the value of all accrued leave time and all fringe benefits of any kind.

C. The state personnel board shall send a copy of this law to all state agencies and universities which have salaried employees who do not fall under the jurisdiction of the state personnel board.
