SUBJECT:  Annual Leave Open Enrollment

   As authorized by Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) Rule 599.752, the
   Annual Leave Program (ALP) open enrollment period is December 1 through December
   31, 1994.  This annual opportunity to enroll in the ALP is being offered only  to
   employees represented by State Bargaining Units 5 and 13 as required by their contract
   with the State.  Eligible excluded employees and employees in State Bargaining Units
   10, 12 and 16 have a continuous enrollment process and may enroll in annual leave at
   any time.
   
   We have attached the following materials to facilitate the open enrollment process for
   those departments with eligible Bargaining Units 5 and 13 employees:
   
   -    A detailed description of the ALP and its enhanced Non-industrial Disability
           Insurance (NDI) benefits; and 
   
   -    An updated election form.
   
   Departments should make ALP information available to all employees eligible to enroll
   during the open enrollment period.  An employee's effective date for ALP participation
   is the first of the month following the date of the election to enroll in the program (i.e.,
   employees who enroll in December will have a January 1, 1995 effective date.)
   
   If you have any questions regarding Annual Leave or the open enrollment, please call
   Vallita Lewis at (916) 324-9362 or CALNET 454-9362.  Effective January 1, 1995,
   responsibility for the administration of the ALP will be transferred to the DPA's
   Personnel Services Branch, and Clarice Baker (916) 327-8490, CALNET 467-8490  
   will handle all phone calls and questions regarding the program.
