Massachusetts S1713 amends benefits for injured correctional officers in county jails or houses of correction.
Massachusetts S1713 amends Chapter 126 of the General Laws to enhance compensation for correctional officers injured on duty by patients or prisoners. Injured officers, already entitled to benefits under Chapter 152, will receive the difference between their weekly cash benefits and their regular salary, without the absence being charged against sick leave credits. This applies even if the absence lasts less than eight calendar days.
