Okla. Stat. tit. 11, § 11-22-137: Denial of excess leave due to extraordinary

circumstances - Compensation.

If a municipal employee whose job duties include providing fire

protection services or law enforcement services is unable to use

excess leave in the time frame allowed by the municipality because

the employee’s request for leave is denied by the municipality and

the denial of leave is due to extraordinary circumstances such that

taking leave could pose a threat to public safety, health or

welfare, the employee shall receive compensation at the employee’s

regular rate of pay for the amount of excess leave the employee is

unable to use. Such compensation shall be paid at the end of the

time period during which the excess leave was required to have been

used.
