An Act protecting retirees from a reduced, modified or changed retirement allowance due to the inclusion of vacation buyback as regular compensation.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
The retirement allowance of any retired member which included in the calculation of such allowance amounts paid as vacation buyback upon which contributions were made shall not be reduced, modified or changed because of the inclusion of such vacation buyback payments.
Notwithstanding any special or general law to the contrary, any amount paid to an active member for vacation buyback upon which contributions were made and included in any applicable collective bargaining agreement or individual contract for employment in effect on May 1, 2018, shall continue to be included in the definition of ‘regular compensation’ during the term of that collective bargaining agreement or contract; provided, however, that any such amount, benefit or payment received after June 30, 2021, shall not be considered regular compensation
