AI Summary
This bill allows state employees who used their earned personal leave or major medical leave to receive their regular pay while taking time off under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to repurchase that leave time. FMLA is a federal law that provides eligible employees with unpaid, job-protected leave for specific family and medical reasons. To buy back the leave, employees must pay their employer the exact amount of net compensation they received while using that personal or major medical leave, and once paid, the corresponding amount of leave will be restored to their balance.
