Frequently asked questions How are applications prioritized?
Shared leave requests are prioritized in the order they come in.
What happens to requests if there is no leave in the bank?
If no leave is available in bank, no leave is disbursed. OMES Human Capital Management sends an email via GovDelivery to those who are interested in donating leave in order to advocate leave. Employees interested in donating need to subscribe to receive this email correspondence.
Can an employee get a full month of leave from bank if they need it, or is there a limit?
It is possible for an employee to receive a full month of leave. OMES HCM issues leave by pay periods. If employee is employed at an agency paid monthly, they will receive a month of leave, if needed.
What happens if you have multiple requests from employees but not enough leave in the bank to cover all of them; who gets what leave?
Leave is issued on a first-come, first-serve basis.<br>

FAQs, continued What happens if an employee gets approved for leave from the bank but receives a donation at the agency level at the last minute?
All efforts to obtain leave should be exhausted (both within the agency and outside of the agency) prior to being issued leave from the bank. Since the bank should be used as a last resort, the agency donation will be issued to the employee. The leave from the bank will be returned to OMES HCM if unused in order to be redistributed.
Does an employee need to complete the HCM-33A each month they need leave from the bank?
No. Continued communication between the agency and OMES HCM liaison is required to know the continued needs of the employee.
What is the turnaround time once a HCM-33A is turned in to OMES HCM for the agency to get confirmation of whether it is approved or if there is leave available?
Upon receipt and validation of HCM-33A, OMES HCM will notify the agency within 24 hours. As leave amounts are constantly fluctuating due to sharing leave and usage, distribution of leave from the Leave of Last Resort Bank is based on the agency’s payroll deadline. The HCM liaison works with the requesting employee’s agency contact to meet the needs by payroll deadline. Communication is key to ensuring timely assistance is provided to employee.<br>

FAQs, continued If a retiree donates leave into the Leave of Last Resort Bank, will the agency ever be billed for that leave?
The receiving agency would cover the costs of its use. The donating agency would only transfer the leave.
Can an employee be placed on the Leave Sharing Registry before asking for the leave from the Shared Leave Bank?
Yes, an agency may request that an employee be placed on the Leave Sharing Registry while working internally to acquire share leave. The employee completes a HCM-33A and secures all signatures before sending to OMES HCM. If later the employee wishes to request leave from the Leave of Last Resort Bank, an updated form or a new form needs to be completed.
If an employee passes away, can their leave be donated to the leave of last resort bank?
Yes. The beneficiary may complete the HCM-33C Donation to Leave Bank form. With the form, include a document confirming the beneficiary.
If an employee requests shared leave and is receiving short-term disability, long-term disability or workers’ compensation, contact the OMES HCM liaison before submitting the HCM-33A.<br>
