28D.4 STATUS OF EMPLOYEES.
1. Employees of a sending agency participating in an exchange of
personnel as authorized in section 28D.3 may be considered during
such participation to be:
a. On detail to regular work assignments of the sending
agency, or
b. In a status of leave of absence from their positions in
the sending agency.
2. Employees who are on detail shall be entitled to the same
salary and benefits to which they would otherwise be entitled and
shall remain employees of the sending agency for all other purposes
except that the supervision of their duties during the period of
detail may be governed by agreement between the sending agency and
the receiving agency.
3. Employees who are in a leave of absence status as provided
herein shall be carried on leave without pay; except they may be
granted annual leave or other time off with pay to the extent
authorized by law and may be granted authorized sick leave in
circumstances considered by the sending agency to justify such leave.
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, employees who are in a
leave of absence status shall have the same rights, benefits, and
obligations as employees generally who are in such leave status but
notwithstanding any other provision of law such employees may be
entitled to credit the period of such assignment toward benefits as
employees of the sending agency.
4. Any employee who participates in an exchange under the terms
of this section who suffers disability or death as a result of
personal injury arising out of and in the course of an exchange, or
sustained in performance of duties in connection therewith, shall be
treated, for the purposes of the sending agency's employee
compensation program, as an employee, as defined in such Act, who has
sustained such injury in the performance of such duty, but shall not
receive benefits under that Act for any period for which the employee
is entitled to and elects to receive similar benefits under the
receiving agency's employee compensation program. Section History: Early Form
