BANKED LEAVE TIME IS COMING TO AN END

For approximately the last two years, state employees have participated in the Banked Leave Time (BLT) program where employees work their regular work schedule and bank a predetermined number or percent of hours. Employees then receive payment for hours in pay status, less the hours banked.

The BLT program is coming to an end in accordance with negotiated agreements for exclusively represented employees and Civil Service rules for non-exclusively represented employees (NEREs).

The following table outlines the scheduled end dates for BLT. Please note that some of the end dates differ because BLT starting dates for the respective bargaining units and non-exclusively represented employees (NEREs) may differ. Accrued BLT hours remain available for use in the same manner as annual leave. Unused BLT hours will be paid into your 401(k) account at separation.

The Office of the State Employer confirms that the Administration does not intend to seek to extend Banked Leave Time beyond these dates.

Questions regarding BLT should be directed to the Office of the State Employer at (517) 373-7400.
