S 2328 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to reimbursement for annual training for armed forces members

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to provide full pay and benefits to state employees who participate in annual military training or drills. Specifically, it allows Commonwealth employees serving in the armed forces or reserve components to receive their regular salary without loss of seniority or accrued leave during up to 34 days of annual training per state fiscal year. The legislation ensures these employees are not penalized financially or in terms of career progression while fulfilling their military obligations.
