602.11102 Accrued employee rights.
1. Persons who were paid salaries by the counties or judicial districts immediately prior to becoming state employees as a result of this chapter shall not forfeit accrued vacation, accrued sick leave, or longevity, except as provided in this section.
2. As a part of its rulemaking authority under section 602.11101, the supreme court, after consulting with the state comptroller, shall prescribe rules to provide for the following:
a. Each person referred to in subsection 1 shall have to the person’s credit as a state employee commencing on the date of becoming a state employee the number of accrued vacation days that was credited to the person as a county employee as of the end of the day prior to becoming a state employee.
b. Each person referred to in subsection 1 shall have to the person’s credit as a state employee commencing on the date of becoming a state employee the number of accrued days of sick leave that was credited to the person as a county employee as of the end of the day prior to becoming a state employee. However, the number of days of sick leave credited to a person under this subsection and eligible to be taken when sick or eligible to be received upon retirement shall not respectively exceed the maximum number of days, if any, or the maximum dollar amount as provided in section 70A.23 that state employees generally are entitled to accrue or receive according to rules in effect as of the date the person becomes a state employee.
c. Commencing on the date of becoming a state employee, each person referred to in subsection 1 is entitled to claim the person’s most recent continuous period of service in full-time county employment as full-time state employment for purposes of determining the number of days of vacation which the person is entitled to earn each year. The actual vacation benefit, including the limitation on the maximum accumulated vacation leave, shall be determined as provided in section 70A.1 according to rules in effect for state employees of comparable longevity, irrespective of any greater or lesser benefit as a county employee.
d. Notwithstanding paragraphs “b” and “c”, for the period beginning July 1, 1984, and ending June 30, 1986, court reporters who become state employees as a result of this chapter are not subject to the sick leave and vacation accrual limitations generally applied to state employees. However, court reporters are subject to the maximum dollar limitation upon retirement as provided in section 70A.23.
