AS 39.20.225. Use of Personal Leave.
- (a) An officer or employee may take personal leave at any time business permits upon permission by the head of the
department or agency for which the officer or employee works.
- (b) An officer or employee may take personal leave for medical reasons, regardless of whether business permits, upon
permission by the head of the department or agency for which the officer or employee works. A department or agency
head shall grant personal leave for medical reasons if the department or agency head is satisfied that the officer or
employee is absent for medical reasons. The taking of personal leave for medical reasons shall be reduced by the
amount of wage continuation payments made under AS 23.30 (Alaska
Workers' Compensation Act). The following constitute "medical reasons" and are subject to the conditions noted:
- (1) medical disability of an officer or employee is a medical reason for taking personal leave. A department or agency
head may require a doctor's certificate showing the disability if the absence exceeds three consecutive working days;
- (2) medical disability of a member of an officer's or employee's immediate family is a medical reason for taking personal
leave if the disability is such that the attendance of the officer or employee is required. A department or agency head
may require a doctor's certificate showing the disability if the absence exceeds three consecutive working days;
- (3) a medical condition of an officer or employee that makes presence at work a danger to the health of fellow employees
is a medical reason for taking personal leave. A department or agency head may require a doctor's certificate showing
the condition if the absence exceeds three consecutive working days;
- (4) pregnancy and childbirth or the placement of a child, other than the employee's stepchild, with the employee for
adoption is a medical reason for an officer or employee to take personal leave;
- (5) death of a member of an officer's or employee's immediate family is a medical reason for taking personal leave. No
more than five days of personal leave may be taken for this purpose.
- (c) Each officer and employee shall, during each 12-month period, take at least five days of personal leave. If the
officer or employee does not take at least five days of personal leave during a 12-month period, the difference between
five days and the amount of personal leave taken shall be canceled without pay unless the department or agency head
certifies in writing that the officer or employee was denied the opportunity to take five days of personal leave during
the 12-month period.
