Simpler shared-leave proof for state workers

Permanent North Dakota state employees seeking donated leave must provide medical proof of the condition and its expected duration. That proof no longer needs to say the condition is severe, extreme, or life-threatening. A physician, physician assistant, psychologist, or advanced practice nurse practitioner must provide it. The program lets employees donate annual or sick leave to coworkers without available leave, including those caring for immediate relatives or household members. Temporary employees and contracted employees with limited-term appointments cannot participate. Employees can use at most four months of donated leave in any 12-month period. They cannot keep donated leave after the need ends.
