Sick leave bank is a reoccurring use program that employees can use throughout their entire career no matter how many times they come in and out of state government. They are only entitled to so many days of sick leave bank per ailment hence why its tracked. Deceased employees will obviously no longer be seeking benefits from the sick leave bank justifying why we don\'t need to maintain these records the 50 years RDA 3033 calls for.

RDA 11121 is a request for a new RDA. The retention period requested is for one year and destroy. The format will be paper. The records series is identical to RDA 3033 Sick Leave Bank Records, which currently has a one year retention period but is being revised with a fifty year retention period. Part of the reason the original RDA is being revised, is that it is difficult to determine when an employee who has left the state has passed. So the state has difficulty in determining when these records should be destroyed unless a person passes while still employed. A longer retention period allows the families and estate of deceased employees opportunity to review the records if any issues arise. Recommend request for new RDA 11121 be accepted with a five year retention period.
