The bill H. 3909 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 8-11-615, which mandates that eligible public employees who have unused annual leave exceeding forty-five days at the end of the calendar year must be compensated for those excess days at one hundred percent of their base pay. This provision aims to ensure that employees are fairly compensated for their accrued leave, promoting better management of annual leave and potentially encouraging employees to take their allotted time off.

The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, indicating a swift implementation once it is signed into law. This change reflects a commitment to support public employees in South Carolina by recognizing the value of their unused leave and providing a financial incentive for managing their time off effectively.
