Prohibits payment to public employees at retirement for certain unused sick leave, provides for forfeiture of payment for unused sick leave for certain criminal convictions, and requires documentation for use of sick leave.

This bill (S 2506) proposes limits on retirement payments for unused sick leave for New Jersey public employees. It caps payments at $15,000 for unused sick leave accrued before specific dates, prohibits payments for leave earned after those dates, and requires documentation for sick leave use. Additionally, it would suspend payments if an employee is indicted for certain serious crimes (like those listed in P.L.2007, c.49) and forfeit payments if convicted of such crimes. The bill applies to public employees covered by state or local retirement systems and would amend existing sick leave payment rules. It is currently pending in the New Jersey Senate.
