Bill > S2586

This bill establishes a special sick leave bank specifically for Irene O'Rourke, an employee of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The bill allows other employees in the department to voluntarily donate one or more of their sick, personal, or vacation days to create a dedicated leave bank for O'Rourke to use during a period of illness or disability. If O'Rourke leaves her job or requests the dissolution of the sick leave bank, any remaining days will be transferred to the department's extended illness leave bank. Importantly, the sick leave bank days can only be used for absences directly related to the specific illness or disability that prompted the bank's creation, as determined by the department. This type of legislation is often used to support employees facing significant medical challenges by allowing their colleagues to directly donate leave time to help them during difficult periods.
