This bill allows certain local government officers and employees, excluding those in local boards of education, to receive payment for accumulated unused sick leave as supplemental compensation under specific conditions. The payment is at the discretion of the political subdivision or agency and is not subject to collective negotiation agreements or individual contracts. If a political subdivision opts to pay for unused sick leave, the eligible hours for payment cannot exceed three weeks, must ensure the employee retains at least 100 working days of sick leave per year, and can only be paid once per calendar year. The compensation rate for this payment is capped at 60 percent of the employee's daily rate of pay based on the salary received during the year the leave was earned.

Additionally, the bill prohibits political subdivisions from using special emergency appropriations to fund the payment of unused sick leave. It also establishes that any sick leave earned after the effective date of the bill may need to be used in a specific order, which is not subject to collective negotiations. The bill aims to provide more flexibility in compensating local government employees for unused sick leave while ensuring that certain protections and limits are in place.
