Bill > H2357

This bill requires state employees to use their accrued vacation and personal days before requesting paid time off to volunteer for the Commonwealth Corps program, which is a state initiative that supports public service. Specifically, it amends Chapter 7 of the General Laws to prevent executive agencies from allowing state employees to volunteer during normal business hours unless they have already used up all their available vacation and personal days. This provision aims to ensure that employees fulfill their regular work duties before dedicating work time to volunteer activities.
