All classified employees are eligible for administrative leave. In all cases, the appointing authority is responsible and accountable for leave approval decisions made within his/her department(s).

Employees with questions may be referred to:

Discretionary Administrative Leave: Appointing authorities may grant paid time to employees for reasons determined to be for the good of the state.

State rule 5-15. Administrative leave may be used to grant paid time when the appointing authority wishes to release employees from their official duties for the good of the state. In determining what is for the good of the state, an appointing authority must consider prudent use of taxpayer and personal services dollars and the business needs of the department.

• Administrative leave that exceeds 20 consecutive working days must be reported to the department head and the Director.听
• Activities performed in an official employment capacity are work time and not administrative leave.
• Administrative leave is not intended to be a substitute for corrective or disciplinary action or other benefits and leave.
• An appointing authority may grant administrative leave up to five days for local or 15 days for national emergencies per fiscal year to employees who are certified disaster service volunteers of the American Red Cross.
• If a department head adopts a policy granting one period of administrative leave for the initial call up to active military service in the war against terrorism, it shall not exceed 90 days and applies after exhaustion of paid military leave.
• Departments may adopt a policy to address whether or not to grant administrative leave for employee participation in community or school volunteer activities.
• Appointing authorities must work with Human Resources before granting an employee administrative leave in excess of 20 consecutive working days.

Required Administrative Leave (5-16): Appointing authorities are required to grant paid time to employees in the instances described below:

Additional Uses for Administrative Leave

Administrative Leave for State Tests and Interviews

The granting of administrative leave for participation in tests and interviews for state positions is a long-standing practice that has benefited employees and appointing authorities alike. Although granting leave for participation in tests and interviews is no longer required, the Boulder Campus continues to support the granting of administrative leave for these purposes.

• Tests and interviews for state positions are not limited to the Boulder Campus.
• Employees who seek employment through transfer, demotion or promotional opportunities at other state agencies are eligible for administrative leave.
• In cases where a state agency is in another part of the state requiring extensive travel time (e.g. Durango or Grand Junction), the appointing authority shall use discretion in the amount of administrative leave to be granted. In these cases, the use of a combination of administrative leave and annual leave would be appropriate.
• Administrative leave for the purpose of participating in state tests and interviews should be requested and approved in advance. Notice of at least 24 hours is preferred unless special circumstances prevent such notice.

Administrative Leave for School or Volunteer Activities

The Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration believes that school and volunteer leave sends a message of support for the education of our children and for building better communities. Although granting leave for school or volunteer activities is discretionary, the Boulder campus continues to support the granting of administrative leave for these purposes as long as the business needs of the department are not compromised.

• School/volunteer leave does not accrue, cannot be carried over from one year to the next, and cannot be "given" to another employee. (An appointing authority may grant additional hours of school/volunteer leave in special, documented circumstances.)

Parental Academic Leave (5-18):听Provides up to 18 hours (pro-rated for part time) in an academic year for parents or legal guardians to participate in academic-related activities.

• Those activities are parent-teacher conferences or meetings related to special education services, response to interventions, dropout prevention, attendance, truancy, and disciplinary issues.
• Pursuant to State Personnel Board Rule 5-18, employees may request to use up to 16 hours of school/volunteer administrative leave in order to receive pay while on unpaid parental academic leave.
• The remaining two hours of parental academic leave are leave without pay unless the employee chooses to use annual leave.

Your Role

• Requesting administrative leave for school/volunteer activity must be mutually agreed upon by the supervisor and employee.
• Discretionary administrative leave requests will be treated like personal leave. A leave request form and supervisor approval is required, with leave permitted based upon the needs of the work unit.
• You must ensure adequate coverage of the work unit prior to granting approval of administrative leave. If an unforeseen event prevents the completion of regular job duties, then approval can be retracted at your discretion.
• Supervisors and appointing authorities must track the hours of school/volunteer leave used by employees.
• You may require documentation of the event for which leave is requested.

Administrative Leave听is authorized according to听Regent Administrative Policy Statement 5062. Such leave may be granted at the discretion of the supervisor, not to exceed 10 working days over a 12-month period.
