Employee leave or relocation. A. When an agency of the State of Oklahoma or part of such an agency is closed because of an imminent peril threatening the public health, safety, or welfare of state employees or the public, the appointing authority shall place employees who are scheduled to work in the closed area on paid administrative leave or shall assign them to work in another location. Employees who are on paid administrative leave shall be in standby or on-call status during their normal scheduled duty hours. The appointing authority may call such employees to return to their normal duties and work location or respond to the demands of the situation as necessary. B.

Appointing authorities of agencies shall be responsible for determining essential agency functions and ensuring that employees who staff such functions are so informed. Leave alternatives for those employees not responsible for basic minimum services shall be established by the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. C.
