Background: Generally, state employees earn no less than eight hours paid vacation day for each month of employment. Employees may use leave at any time if they have an adequate leave balance. The amount of vacation leave a state employee earns increases depending on the number of years the employee is continuously employed. There is a maximum accrual rate of 16 hours, 40 minutes per month—25 days per year—reached after the twenty-fifth year of total state employment.
Summary of Bill: Former certificated or classified employees of a school district who move to state employment shall be credited with years of service for purposes of determining vacation leave accrual rates. Each contract year or equivalent of full-time employment with a school district shall be credited as one year of qualifying service.
Appropriation: None.
Fiscal Note: Available.
