THE Government of Guam cashed out over $91,000 to lawmakers during the 29th Legislature as payment for their unused leave credits, Sen. Rory Respicio told yesterday.
œWhen the 30th Guam Legislature is replaced by the 31st on January 3, 2011, each senator and each employee of the outgoing Legislature will be entitled to receive a œlump sum payment for their unused annual leave, said Respicio.
œThis is also right for many in the administrative branch of government. Most elected officials and employees in the unclassified services of GovGuam are eligible, the lawmaker added.
Under the law, the governor, lt. governor, senators, mayors, attorney general and public auditor are entitled to earn leave credits.
At the end of each term of office or if the official leaves office before their term is up, the established practice has been to vacate any accumulated annual leave balances as a œlump sum payment for accrued hours, said Respicio.
Elected leaders and unclassified employees work for a length of time so they dont reach the cap of accrued annual leave.
As the law reads, government employees who work 1 to 5 years accumulate 4 hours of annual leave every pay period for a total of 104 hours.
From 6 to 14 years of service, employees accumulate 6 hours every pay period for a total of 156 hours of accumulated annual leave.
Employees with 15 years plus of government service should receive 8 hours every pay period for a total of 208 hours of accumulated annual leave.
Further, annual leave cannot be carried over to a new fiscal year. Accumulated sick leave is treated in the same manner for classified employees.
Elected officials who are not entitled to annual or sick leave include members of the Consolidated Commission on Utilities and members of the Guam Board of Education, said Respicio.
Unclassified employees in government service consist of department directors, deputy directors, executive secretaries, special assistants to the governor and lt. governor, and most of the legislatures appointed employees and those that work at the governor and lt. governors offices, said the lawmaker.
In contrast to classified GovGuam employees who are promoted within a merit system and have civil service protections, the status of unclassified employees is ˜at will, meaning they have no job security and can be released at any time by their hiring authority, said Respicio.
