AN ACT CONCERNING EMPLOYERS OF COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM MEMBERS.

HB 6671 requires employers to allow employees who are members of community emergency response teams to be absent from work during normal hours when activated by their municipality for an emergency. It prohibits employers from reducing the pay, cutting work hours, or discriminating against these employees for responding to emergencies. The bill directly affects employers and community emergency response team members across Connecticut, ensuring they can serve without workplace penalties. This policy change aims to support local emergency response efforts by protecting employees' job security during activations.
