SB 261

Abstract

Amends the School Code. In provisions concerning sick leave for certain employees of school districts other than Chicago, provides that if an employee other than a teacher does not use the full amount of annual leave allowed, the unused amount shall be allowed to accumulate to a minimum available leave of 240 (instead of 180) days at full pay, including the leave of the current year. Provides that if an employee other than a teacher is subject to a reduction in force, the employing district shall maintain on its records all accumulated sick leave days, which must be recredited to the employee at the time of recall. Provides that if the employee is not recalled, then the district shall pay the employee, at the expiration of the recall period, the cash value for all accumulated sick leave at the daily rate of pay at the time of the layoff. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.
