South Carolina H5169 amends the sick leave policy for public school employees, requiring school districts to pay teachers for accrued but unused sick leave upon separation from employment, unless the teacher transfers to another district within 30 days and accepts the leave. The bill specifies that the accrued sick leave is transferable to any school district in the state or to the State Department of Education. It also ensures that benefits accrued under previous sick leave policies are not lost. The act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
