	(a)  At least 10 days of personal leave must be used each leave year. Employees and supervisors will be advised by the employee's payroll office on or before October 16 of each year how many days of personal leave must be used to fulfill the 10-day minimum requirement under AS 39.20.225, 2 AAC 08.062, and this section. For the purpose of this subsection, "personal leave" means paid personal leave or authorized leave without pay; it does not include disciplinary leave without pay and unauthorized leave without pay.  
	(b)  If the employee does not schedule the mandatory 10 days of personal leave or remainder of it, the employee's supervisor may direct the employee to use the appropriate amount of personal leave to satisfy the 10-day requirement.  
	(c)  If at the end of the leave year the employee has failed to use the 10 days of personal leave required, the difference between 10 days and the amount of personal leave actually used and its cash value will be deducted from the employee's personal leave account and cash value balances. No payment will be made to the employee for the personal leave that was deducted.  
	(d)  Notwithstanding the provisions of (c) of this section, the unused portion of the mandatory 10-days' personal leave will not be deducted from the personal leave account and cash value balances if the employee's department or agency head certifies in writing that the employee was denied the opportunity to use mandatory personal leave.  
	(e)  When an employee changes employment or changes to a new bargaining unit resulting in a change from annual and sick leave to a personal leave plan, or from personal leave to an annual and sick leave plan, the employee will be subject to the mandatory leave usage provisions of the unit in which employed at the end of the leave year.  
	(f)  An employee under a leave plan requiring the use of more than five days of mandatory leave each year, who changes to a leave plan requiring only five days of mandatory leave each year will not receive a refund of, or payment for, leave used in excess of the mandatory requirement.  
	(g)  Repealed 10/16/87.  
	(h)  Five or fewer days of personal leave cashed-in under 2 AAC 08.065 may be applied to the employee's mandatory personal leave requirement under AS 39.20.225, 2 AAC 08.062, and this section.
