The bill amends section 54-06-14 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to sick leave for state employees. It specifies that annual leave and sick leave must be provided to all permanent state employees not under a written contract. The bill establishes that annual leave will range from a minimum of one working day to a maximum of two working days per month, while sick leave is adjusted from a minimum of one working day to ten hours per month, with a maximum of one and one-half working days per month.

Additionally, the bill outlines the compensation structure for both annual and sick leave, ensuring full pay for the number of days or hours taken off due to illness. It also details the conditions under which employees with at least ten continuous years of service are entitled to a lump sum payment for unused sick leave, calculated based on their salary at the time of departure. The bill mandates that each employing unit must adopt rules governing the granting of these leaves and submit them to the office of management and budget.
