An Act relating to the regular compensation of certain active and retired employees of the city of Fitchburg

This bill updates how the City of Fitchburg calculates retirement benefits for specific active and retired employees. It ensures that payments made in lieu of personal leave are counted as regular compensation for those who were working as of May 1, 2018, and who began receiving these payments before that date. The law also prevents the retirement allowance from being reduced or altered because these leave payments were included in the calculation. Additionally, it requires that such payments be part of a program available to all similarly situated employees and not primarily made near the end of an employee's career.
