An Act Establishing a sick leave bank for Kathryn Woessner, an employee of the Department of Correction.

 

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately establish a sick leave bank for a certain employee of the department of corrections convenience, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special, or rule or regulation to the contrary, the Massachusetts Department of Corrections shall establish a sick leave bank for Kathryn Woessner, an employee of the department. Any employee of said department may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for the use by Kathryn Woessner. Whenever Kathryn Woessner terminates employment with said department or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, the balance of the sick leave time shall be transferred to the Massachusetts Department of Corrections paid sick leave bank. Sick leave bank days shall not be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that necessitated the establishment of the sick leave bank as determined by the department.
