Title of bill
An act to amend the military law, in relation to authorizing additional paid leave for state correction officers who are absent on military duty
Purpose
Authorizes an additional 10 days military leave for state correctional officers who are absent on military duty.
Summary of provisions
Amends section 5 of section 242 of the military law to authorize additional paid leave for state correctional officers who are absent on military duty.
Justification
Currently, state law allows public employees to receive the greater of 30 days or 22 working days of paid leave a year for military service. However, state correctional officers, unlike the typical state or local employee, are often required to work at their respective correctional facility on weekends. Therefore, while the typical state or local employee can prevent the exhaustion of their military leave by performing their military duties on the weekends, state correctional officers do not have the same luxury. As a result, many state correctional officers often exhaust their current 30-day allotment and are required to utilize accruals to cover military time.
