department head (or designee).
Employees who are appointed to temporary assignments do not qualify for this benefit.

any similar existing or future pay types, but not more than 80 hours) and the denominator of which is 80 hours.

limited to the cash value of the accrued leave. Likewise, employees shall not be eligible to receive any type of
intermediate cash -out or payoff of PTL upon termination.
