In plain language

Resign, retire or be removed, and the SCOR clock restarts: sick leave is computed only from the date of return to employment. Layoff is treated differently. An employee who returns after a layoff is credited with sick leave accrued both before the separation and after the return. Two rules cover people who have already been paid once. Anybody who retired and received the maximum SCOR payment set at N.J.A.C. 4A:6-3.3 cannot receive any further supplemental compensation. Somebody who received less than the maximum may, on re-entering State employment and retiring again, receive no more than the difference between what was already paid and that maximum.
