Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 2, § 599.785.5 - Administrative Time off - During State of Emergency
(a) Employees may be granted a paid leave of
absence of up to five days by their appointing power when the employee works or
resides in a county where a state of emergency has been proclaimed by the
Governor and the appointing power determines that at least one of the following
conditions exist:
(1) The employee's normal
place of business is closed temporarily, during the employee's normal work
shift, due to the effects of the emergency.
(2) The emergency effectively precludes the
employee's ability to find reasonable routes of transportation from the
employee's normal residence to the work place.
(3) The emergency presents an immediate and
grave peril to the employee's own safety, that of an employee's immediate
family member, or the employee's principal residence.
(4) The employee is actively involved in a
formal, organized effort to protect the health and safety of the general
public; such as, the employee is a member of the auxiliary fire or police
department or the employee is asked by local authorities to assist with
sandbagging efforts.
(5) The
employee needs to take time off to apply for disaster assistance from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) because the employee is unable to
apply for assistance before or after the employee's normal work
shift.
(b) An employee
may be granted a paid leave of absence up to five days by the employee's
appointing power regardless of the location of the disaster when the employee
is preregistered with, and providing volunteer service to, a state agency
carrying out its responsibilities under the Governor's Executive Order D-25-83.
The employees providing volunteer service are required to notify their
appointing power of their affiliation with the volunteer services and to
establish prior arrangements regarding the notification of the appointing power
in the event the employee is asked to participate in the state disaster
response. The appointing power shall release the employee to provide volunteer
service when an emergency occurs unless there is a critical agency operating
reason to prevent such a release.
(c) No paid leave of absence shall exceed
five working days without the prior approval of the appointing power and the
prior approval of the Department. The Department shall grant approval of a paid
leave of absence in excess of five working days based on its finding that one
of the criteria above continues to be met.
(d) State employees called into service as
specified in Government Code section
19844.5
are excluded from the above standards.
