Synopsis

 This policy

Introduction

The California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) established the VPLP to replace the mandatory Personal Leave Programs of 1993, 1994, and 2004.  VPLP was implemented to serve as a cost savings tool that would also permit employees to have more time for personal pursuits.  VPLP is subject to change through collective bargaining.

Statement

VPLP allows eligible employees to receive additional leave time in return for a corresponding reduction in pay.  The program is available to rank-and-file and excluded employees, and employees may voluntarily participate on a continuous basis.

For rank-and-file employees, participation in the VPLP is subject to the employee’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).  Departments shall offer rank-and-file employees the opportunity to participate in VPLP.

Excluded and exempt employee participation in VPLP shall be consistent with the provisions of California Code of Regulations, title 2, section 599.737.5.  The following provisions apply to the program for excluded employees:

Departments may provide an election form to employees to elect participation in the program.  For participating employees, VPLP is administered by deducting the percent equivalent to one, two, or three days from the employee’s salary.

Since the program is voluntary, employees may cancel their participation in the VPLP by informing their personnel office of the request to cancel, consistent with MOU’s or California Code of Regulations, title 2, section 599.737.5.

Application

Upon receipt of an employee election to participate in VPLP, personnel transactions staff will document the VPLP to reduce the employee’s pay by the equivalent number of days elected as defined in Pay Differential 286 – Voluntary Personal Leave Program Differential – Bargaining Units R01, R03, R04, R05, R09, R10, R11, R14, R15, R16, R17, R19, R20, R21, and Excluded.
