Sick Leave Buyback 2

SECTION 63.   Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, section 22 shall take effect for any employee of the commonwealth who has accrued not more than 1,000 hours of unused sick leave credits, on the effective date of this act. Any employee of the commonwealth who has accrued more than 1,000 hours of unused sick leave credits as of the effective date of this act shall not accrue credits in excess of those credits, but may accrue credits for any sick time that is used after the effective date of this act.



Summary:
This section, with two others, proposes the sick leave buyback legislation filed by the Governor during the 2015-16 session, H.4341. It would limit the accrual of unused sick time for state employees to 1,000 hours. It would also freeze the accrual of sick time for any employee who has already accrued more than 1,000 hours, as of the effective date of this act.
