Bill > S1708

This bill aims to reform sick leave buybacks for employees of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and public institutions of higher education. It sets a cap of 1,000 hours on the amount of unused sick leave credits that an employee can accrue, and requires the relevant personnel administrators and departments to update their rules and policies to reflect this change. The bill specifies that it will take effect immediately upon passage, and will apply to both current employees with 1,000 or fewer hours of unused sick leave credits, as well as those with more than 1,000 hours, who will not be able to accrue additional credits but can use their existing credits.
