A State employee who provides less than 14 calendar days' notice of the leave may be denied leave if the State employee's agency demonstrates that the leave would create a health or safety hazard in the workplace. If the leave is denied, written notification must be provided to the employee within 24 hours after the employee's request for leave. Once the leave has been approved, approval for the leave may not be rescinded.".
