§ 87777 Employee Leave Rights Transfer

Key Takeaways

  • •If a high school teacher or staff member moves to work at a community college, they keep all their old sick days and other time-off benefits.
  • •The community college must treat those saved-up days the same way the high school did—no tricks or resets.
  • •This rule only applies if the move happens under special work-sharing agreements between the high school and the community college.

Example

A high school math teacher who has saved 20 sick days over 5 years gets hired by a local community college under a special program.

The community college must let the teacher keep and use those 20 sick days just like before—no taking them away or starting over.
