I am a current State employee and I am scheduled for a job interview for another State position. Do I need to request vacation or personal time to attend the job interview?
No. State employees are permitted to attend job interviews for State of Connecticut jobs during their workday provided they receive approval for the time from their supervisor. (For payroll purposes the time should be coded as WI for State Job Interview.) Employees should try to schedule their interviews outside of their work hours, if possible. If this is not possible, employees should try to schedule their interviews at a time that allows them to reduce the amount of time away from their job. Ample travel time is permitted, however, State employees are not eligible for mileage reimbursement to travel to/from a State job interview.
