AB 1750

Existing law requires a certificated or classified school employee who exhausts all available sick leave and continues to be absent from duties on account of illness or accident for an additional period of 5 months to receive during those 5 months either (1) the difference between the employee’s salary and the sum that is actually paid, or would have been paid, to a substitute employee employed to fill the position during the employee’s absence, or (2) at least 50% of the employee’s regular salary during the period of the absence. This bill would require a certificated or classified school employee who exhausts all available sick leave and continues to be absent from duties on account of illness or accident for an additional period of 5 months to instead receive the employee’s full salary during those 5 months. The bill would make numerous related conforming and clarifying changes.
