Bill > A691

This bill establishes a $10,000 limit on supplemental compensation paid to public officers and employees for accumulated unused sick leave upon retirement, and restricts vacation leave carry-forward to only the next succeeding year, with exceptions for leave accrued before the bill's effective date or under specific circumstances like a declared state of emergency. Importantly, current officers and employees will be allowed to keep any supplemental compensation for unused sick leave they have already accrued and carry forward any vacation leave they have already accrued as of the bill's effective date, and the bill will not override existing collective negotiations agreements or individual employment contracts in effect on that date.
