Relating to the use of personal leave during school holidays by certain school district employees.
HB 1411 allows certain school district employees to use their personal leave days for school holidays, meaning they can receive pay for days when school is closed (instead of taking unpaid time off). This applies only to non-exempt employees (not covered by federal overtime rules) and those with non-annualized pay. Employees may use up to two personal leave days per year for school holidays under this provision. The law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
