Bill > HB06402

This bill modifies existing Connecticut state statutes to give local and regional boards of education the option to require classroom employees to use their paid sick leave in four-hour increments. The key purpose is to align sick leave usage with the common practice of hiring substitute teachers in four-hour blocks, providing more flexibility for school districts in managing employee absences. By allowing boards of education to mandate sick leave in these set increments, the legislation helps standardize how classroom employees can use their paid time off, potentially making it easier for schools to arrange substitute coverage and manage staffing when employees are absent. The bill does not mandate that boards must require four-hour increments, but rather provides them with the discretionary authority to do so if they choose.
