Allows state employees who are appointed to a different state position to retain certain benefits
This bill (A 3944) allows state employees who are appointed to a new position within a state agency to keep their earned sick leave and vacation time. It directly affects state workers who move to different roles through internal appointments, rather than hiring or layoffs. The law requires agencies to preserve both accrued sick leave credits and vacation leave credits when an employee transfers. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment and is currently referred to the Labor committee.
