[§83-5] Status of employees of this State. When any unit of government of this State is the sending agency, its employee on a temporary intergovernmental assignment may be considered to be on detail to a regular work assignment or on leave of absence without pay from the employee's position.
(1) Detail. An employee on detail shall remain an employee of the sending agency and, as such, be entitled to all rights and benefits.
(2) Leave of absence without pay. An employee on leave of absence without pay shall be entitled to the same rights and benefits as any other employee of the sending agency on leave of absence without pay, and to the following:
(A) Credit for the period of temporary intergovernmental assignment towards the employee's retirement;
(B) Continuance of health fund benefits and contributions if none are provided by the receiving agency;
(C) Supplemental pay equal to the difference between the sending and receiving agencies' rates of pay if the receiving agency's pay is less than what the employee would have received if the employee had continued in the employee's regular position;
(D) Compensation for disability or death resulting from personal injury arising out of and in the course of the temporary intergovernmental assignment, as though the employee were an employee on detail from the sending agency, unless the employee, the employee's estate or survivor elects, instead, to receive compensation from the receiving agency's program for such death or disability;
(E) Annual leave if the period of assignment is for one year or longer. [L 1978, c 63, pt of §4; gen ch 1985]
