The bill proposes the establishment of a sick leave bank specifically for Sally Desrosiers, an employee of the Department of Correction in Massachusetts. It allows other employees within the Department to voluntarily contribute one or more of their sick, personal, or vacation days to this bank for Desrosiers' use. The bill stipulates that if Desrosiers either terminates her employment or requests the dissolution of the sick leave bank, any remaining days in the bank will be transferred to the extended illness leave bank. Additionally, the bill specifies that the sick leave bank days cannot be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that led to the creation of the bank, as determined by the Department.
The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage, ensuring that the sick leave bank can be established without delay. This legislation aims to provide support to Desrosiers during her time of need while also outlining the parameters for contributions and usage of the sick leave bank.
