 AN ACT to amend the civil service law, in relation to use of accrued
 sick time, compensation time or vacation time

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The civil service law is amended by adding a new section
 2 159-e to read as follows:
 3 § 159-e. Authorization to use accrued time during certain required
 4 waiting periods. 1. Any public officer, employee of the state, county,
 5 community college, public authority, public benefit corporation, board
 6 of cooperative educational services (BOCES), vocational education and
 7 extension board, or a school district enumerated in section one of chap-
 8 ter five hundred sixty-six of the laws of nineteen hundred sixty-seven,
 9 municipality, school district or any employee of a participating employ-
 10 er in the New York state and local employees' retirement system or any
 11 employee of a participating employer in the New York state teachers'
 12 retirement system who is required to serve a waiting period pursuant to
 13 section twelve of the workers' compensation law, or who is not receiving
 14 indemnity benefits as a result of the controversion of their claim, may
 15 use any accrued time, including but not limited to, sick time, compen-
 16 sation time, personal time, or vacation time, during such waiting peri-
 17 od. An employer shall not require an employee to utilize any accrued
 18 time during such waiting period or period of controversion.

 23 of controversion, the employee shall be entitled to full restoration of
 24 time charged.
