Establishes a universal sick leave bank policy for Massachusetts public employees.

The bill proposes to create a universal sick leave bank policy for public employees in Massachusetts. It mandates that state agencies establish rules and procedures for employees contributing to the sick leave bank. These rules must include provisions for sick leave bank donations on an as-needed basis, require evidence of non-job-related illness or injury for sick leave applications, and prohibit sick leave grants to employees with prior abuse in their personnel files. Unused sick leave exceeding 25 days will revert to the contributor at year-end.
