Raised Bill No. 5387, introduced in the February Session, 2024, is an act concerning state employee vacation time. The bill mandates the Commissioner of Administrative Services to conduct a study on the policies related to the transfer of a state employee's unused vacation time when they move to a different position within state service. The study is also required to examine the current limitations on transferring unused paid sick days. The findings of this study must be submitted to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees labor and public employee matters by January 1, 2025.
The bill is set to be effective from July 1, 2024, and does not include any deletions from the current law but adds a new section to the statutes. The purpose of the bill is to ensure a thorough review of the policies governing the transferability of state employees' accrued vacation time, potentially leading to recommendations for legislative or administrative changes to improve the management of vacation time within state employment.
