Bill > S2584

This bill establishes a special sick leave bank specifically for Irene O'Rourke, an employee of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS). The bill allows other EOHHS employees to voluntarily donate one or more of their sick, personal, or vacation days to create a pool of leave time that O'Rourke can use during a serious illness or disability. If O'Rourke leaves her job or requests to end the sick leave bank, any remaining donated days will be transferred to an extended illness leave bank. The donated sick leave can only be used for absences directly related to the specific illness or disability that prompted the creation of this bank, as determined by EOHHS. This type of legislation is a compassionate measure that allows coworkers to support a colleague facing significant medical challenges by sharing their own accrued leave time.
