Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the state and any public agency may establish a separate object of appropriation or a subobject of appropriation within salaries and employee benefits for the payment of compensation to employees who are on approved leaves of absence on account of sickness. The amount of compensation to be paid to employees under this object or subobject shall be that established by statute, salary ordinance or statement, except that no compensation shall be paid when an employee is on authorized leave without pay even though such leave may be on account of sickness.
