Bill > S2799

This bill establishes a special sick leave bank for Jeffrey Yacinthe, an employee of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The bill allows other employees of the department to voluntarily donate one or more of their sick, personal, or vacation days to create a bank of leave time that Yacinthe can use during a period of serious illness or disability. If Yacinthe either leaves his job or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, any remaining days will be transferred to the department's extended illness leave bank. The bill specifies that these donated sick leave days can only be used for absences directly related to the specific illness or disability that prompted the creation of the bank, as determined by the department. The bill is characterized as an emergency measure, suggesting there is an urgent need to provide Yacinthe with additional leave support during a challenging medical situation.
