Rule 3335-79-10 | Retirement payout of sick leave.
(A) Upon retirement from active university service after ten or more years of combined service with the university, state of Ohio, or any of its political sub-divisions, an employee may choose to be paid for one-fourth of the accrued unused sick leave credit up to a maximum payment of two hundred forty hours. This payment shall be based upon the employee's rate of pay at the time of retirement. Upon accepting such payment, all sick leave credit accrued up to that time shall be eliminated.
(B) Payout of sick leave shall be made only once to any employee. An employee who returns to Ohio or university service after retiring and receiving a sick leave payout may accrue and use sick leave as before, but may not subsequently convert the unused sick leave into another payout.
(C) Sick leave conversion does not apply to any termination or separation other than retirement, except as provided in rule 3335-79-11 of the Administrative Code.
