An Act relative to vacation time for employees of the Commonwealth who are veterans

HD 2725 amends Massachusetts law to ensure veteran Commonwealth employees who purchase creditable service time through their retirement system receive proper vacation time benefits. The bill requires retirement boards to notify the relevant human resources department whenever a veteran employee buys such service time. This notification allows the employee to count the purchased time toward their vacation accrual rate as a Commonwealth employee. The law directly affects veterans employed by state agencies who use retirement system service purchases. It changes the administrative process for calculating vacation time, not the amount of vacation earned.
