Relates to sick leave requirements for state employees who are eligible for certain group insurance policies

This bill (A 9288) establishes specific sick leave accrual rules for New York state employees eligible for certain group insurance policies. It requires these employees to earn sick leave at a rate of one day per biweekly pay period, accumulating up to 225 days total. After using all accrued sick leave, employees may receive sick leave at half-pay, but the total half-pay leave granted cannot exceed one payroll period for every six months of service. The policy applies directly to eligible state employees and modifies existing sick leave provisions under civil service law.
