>Courts Gone Wild : State employees’ paid leave can roll over from year to year indefinitely, court rules
Days off that state employees negotiated with former Gov. Jon Corzine in return for pay raise deferral and furloughs are not like unused vacation time and can be carried from year to year indefinitely, a state appellate court panel ruled today.
The ruling in favor of the Communications Workers of America and two other state employee unions reverses a 2010 amendment to state Civil Service regulations that, once enacted, prohibited state employees from carrying so-called paid leave bank days beyond June 30, 2012. (Spoto, The Star-Ledger)
