Description of Subjects/Issues |
Amendment to the Colorado PERA Rules |
Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of this rulemaking is to amend Colorado PERA Rule 1.20 to clarify the definition of “salary” consistent with statute and long-standing PERA policy and interpretation. Salary includes annual lump sum payments of accrued leave, but not when payment is at the election of the member. Salary will include accrued leave payouts made pursuant to employer policies or employment contracts when the policy or contract combines sick leave with any other type of leave. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-51-101(42)(b), salary does not include compensation for unused sick leave converted to cash payments. |
