Relates to use of accrued sick time, compensation time or vacation time

Summary

The bill lets state, local and other public employees use any earned leave—sick, personal, vacation, or compensation time—while they wait for a workers’ compensation decision or during a claim’s controversion period. Employers cannot force employees to use this leave, and if the waiting period is later found unnecessary, the used time must be fully restored. The rule does not apply to workers covered by collective‑bargaining agreements unless those unions choose to opt in.
