Special Note on Using the Department of Civil
Service Attendance and Leave Manual.
Most of the links are to the main provisions of the Attendance and Leave
Manual, but very often you must check the linked "Contract Pages" to fully
understand the provisions. Wherever possible, we have tried to include links
directly to these additional materials.
Importantly, some of the "Contract Pages" have not been updated to
reflect recent Contracts. Instead, the contractual changes are
detailed in separate implementation memos.
Be sure to check each of these implementation memos that followed
ratification of the PEF Contract:

leave, the Federal Law provides additional entitlement to time of for:
- Leave for foster care placement.
- Health insurance coverage at employee share cost during
periods of FMLA leave without pay.
