How are an employee′s benefits affected by recall?
At the time of recall, the agency will reinstate the employee′s accumulated sick leave, and will provide the employee the option of buying back, all, some, or none of his annual leave at the rate it was paid out at the time of the separation. Upon returning to employment in an insurance eligible FTE position, the employee will also be offered insurance benefits as a new hire. The recalled employee may purchase retirement service credit under the leave of absence provision in Section 9-1-1140 (D) for the period of time that the employee was not employed by State government, at the cost specified in Section 9-1-1140 (D). When an employee is recalled, this time will not be considered punitive in the determination of retiree insurance eligibility.
