Bill > H4230

This bill establishes a special sick leave bank specifically for James Caruso, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). Under this legislation, other MassDOT employees can voluntarily donate one or more of their sick, personal, or vacation days to create a bank of leave time that James Caruso can use during a period of serious illness or disability. If Caruso either leaves his employment or requests the dissolution of the bank, any remaining donated days will be transferred to the department's extended illness leave bank. The bill emphasizes that these banked sick leave days can only be used for absences directly related to the specific illness or disability that prompted the creation of this special leave bank, as determined by MassDOT. The bill is being enacted as an emergency measure to provide immediate assistance to the employee, suggesting that Caruso is facing a significant medical situation that requires additional leave time beyond his standard accrued leave.
