Bill > H2732

This bill aims to preserve the practice of including annual payments in lieu of vacation as regular compensation for current retirees and active retirement system members where such benefit existed as of May 2018. Specifically, the bill ensures that retirement allowances will not be reduced, modified, or changed due to the inclusion of these payments in lieu of vacation leave in the calculation. It also mandates that such payments made after May 1, 2018 to members who were in service as of that date will be considered regular compensation, as long as they are permitted under an applicable collective bargaining agreement, individual contract, or municipal plan or ordinance. The bill applies only to members who were in service as of May 1, 2018 and had received payment in lieu of vacation leave prior to that date.
