AB 1750: School employees: absences due to illness or accident.

Existing law requires a certificated or classified school employee, and an academic or classified community college employee, 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 employees salary and the sum that is actually paid, or would have been paid, to a substitute employee employed to fill the position during the employees absence, or (2) at least 50% of the employees regular salary during the period of the absence.

This bill would require a certificated or classified school employee, and an academic or classified community college employee, 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 employees full salary during those 5 months. The bill would make numerous related conforming and clarifying changes.
