Bill Summary
Under current law, an officer or employee of the state, a subdivision of the state, or a municipality is entitled to a leave of absence for state active duty, national guard duty, federal active duty, or civil air patrol duty without loss of status or efficiency rating, and without loss of pay during the first 30 days. This bill specifies that each workday, regardless of the number of hours in the workday, for which a civil employee takes a leave of absence shall count as one day for purposes of calculating the 30 days of paid leave.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies how paid leave is calculated for civil public employees in Iowa who are members of the military or other service organizations and are called to duty. Currently, these employees are entitled to up to 30 days of paid leave without losing their job status or pay for various types of duty, including state active duty, national guard duty, federal active duty, or civil air patrol duty. The bill specifically states that each workday an employee takes off for such duty will count as one full day towards the 30-day paid leave limit, regardless of how many hours are in that workday. This change ensures consistency in how paid leave is tracked and applied, even for shifts that might span across two calendar days.
