Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

Section 1 adds section 169-d to the civil service law to permit public sector workers and certain public sector workers in contract with the state to use any accrued sick time, vacation time, personal time, or other compensation time during a waiting period for their workers' compensation. If it is determined that a worker does not need a waiting period after they have used accrued time off, the employee is entitled to have their accrued time they took off fully restored. Lastly, work- ers who are already covered by a collective bargaining agreement can opt out of this law. Section 2. This act shall take effect immediately. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORIGINAL AND AMENDED VERSION (IF APPLICABLE): The amended bill changes proposed subdivision heading from "Payment in lieu of workers' compensation payments" to "Authorization to use accrued time during certain required waiting periods." It also specifies that the required waiting period is pursuant to section twelve of the work- ers' compensation law.

The sponsor's argument

Why Jessica Ramos says this is needed

Current civil service policy is inconsistent among various public employees on whether a public employee who suffers a work-related injury may take various leave time prior to the commencement of a claim under workers' compensation. In addition, these injured civil servants who are prevented from working do not receive any financial relief from the Workers' Compensation Board until their case has been established and benefits are approved. This application and approval process, which can take up to six months or longer, presents a tremendous hardship for out-of-work employees who are unable to use the time they accrued while working and healthy. This legislation is intended to correct this ineqi- ity.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
