AI Summary: This regulation is about how North Carolina state employees can use "incentive leave." Currently, there are strict rules about who can get this type of leave, mainly limiting it to employees who have been working for a long time and have significant experience outside of state government. This regulation proposes to loosen those restrictions, making it easier for more employees, including new hires, to be eligible for incentive leave. The goal is to make the rules for incentive leave more consistent with other bonus programs for state employees. The regulation also clarifies that any incentive leave granted must be approved by the agency head or someone they authorize. It also confirms that this leave cannot be exchanged for cash or converted into other types of leave. Based on the information provided, this regulation is in the process of being updated. A public hearing is scheduled for July 2025, and there's a period for public comments until September 2025. The proposed changes are expected to take effect on December 1, 2025. This means the regulation is not yet final and is open for public input before it becomes official.
