Authorizes additional paid leave for public employees who are absent on military duty
This bill (S 3318) extends paid leave for New York public employees who serve in the military. It increases the maximum annual paid leave from 30 days to 60 days (or 22 to 52 work days) per year for time spent on military duty, including travel to and from duty. The change directly affects state and local government workers called to active military service. The policy modifies existing law to provide longer paid absence coverage without creating new programs or eligibility requirements.
