Bill > H2694

This bill proposes to establish a universal sick leave bank policy for all state agencies in Massachusetts. The key provisions include: (1) requiring each state agency to set up rules and procedures for employees to access the sick leave bank, including reviewing the employee's prior sick leave usage and requiring evidence of non-job-related illness or injury; (2) mandating that employees must have exhausted all other available leave before accessing the sick leave bank; and (3) specifying that any unused sick leave in the bank at the end of the year will be reverted to the contributors, up to a maximum of 25 days. The bill also clarifies that it will not affect any existing collective bargaining agreements related to sick leave bank policies.
