Bill > SB0279

This bill amends Tennessee law by adding a specific definition for the term "working day" in the context of military leave for state and local government employees who are members of reserve components of the U.S. armed forces. Specifically, the bill defines a "working day" as the number of hours an employee is scheduled to work during a 24-hour period. This definition will help clarify how military leave and compensation are calculated for reservists who are called to active military service. By providing a precise definition, the bill aims to standardize the interpretation of work hours for employees who must take leave for military service, ensuring more consistent and fair treatment across different government workplaces. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
