Similarly, VR credits earned, banked and charged after the payroll period

in which they are earned are not counted in determining eligibility for

overtime in the workweek in which they are charged. However, employees
who work full time at reduced salary and bank VR credits who, as the result

of working and charging leave accruals other than VR credits, exceed their
normal 37.5 or 40-hour workweek continue to be eligible for overtime

compensatory time and paid overtime in that workweek as appropriate.
Sections 135.2(h) and (i) of Part 135 of the Budget Director’s Overtime

Rules are waived to the extent necessary to permit payment of overtime
compensation to overtime-eligible employees who are participating in this

program.
10. Discontinuation or Suspension of VRWS Agreements

Although VRWS agreements are for stated periods of time, they can be
discontinued by mutual agreement at the end of any payroll period. VR

agreements may be discontinued, at management discretion, when an
employee is promoted, transferred or reassigned within an agency, facility

or institution, although VR credits must be carried forward on the
employee’s time record.

VR agreements may also be discontinued when an employee moves
between agencies or between facilities or institutions within an agency. (See

Provisions for Payment of Banked (Unused) VR Time in Exceptional Cases
below.)

Employees who go on sick leave at half pay for 28 consecutive calendar
days, who receive leave donation credits for 28 consecutive calendar days

or who are absent because of a work-related injury or illness for 28

consecutive calendar days will have their VRWS agreement suspended and
be returned to their normal fulltime work schedule and pay base. For
accidents occurring on or after July 1, 1992, CSEA employees covered

under the Statutory Benefit Program will continue on VRWS until the first

day they are placed on workers’ compensation disability leave, at which
time they will have their VRWS agreement suspended. Suspension of a VR
agreement does not extend the agreement beyond its scheduled termination

date. If the employee returns to work prior to the scheduled termination date

of the VR agreement, the employee’s participation in the VR agreement
resumes and continues until the scheduled termination date, unless both

parties agree to terminate the agreement.
