What happens to earned personal leave?
A. A teacher must be credited with all personal leave accumulated up to the time of reassignment or separation provided that the teacher is reinstated as an eligible permanent full-time or part-time teacher within 60 calendar months from the date of separation or reassignment. If a former employee has not returned to work in a North Carolina school system (or another State agency that accepts our personal leave), as an eligible permanent full-time or part-time employee within 60 months, the personal leave is lost.
