§ 87779 Employee Leave Rights Transfer

Key Takeaways

  • •If your school or workplace moves to a new district, you keep all your old sick days and other time-off benefits.
  • •The new district must treat your old benefits like they were earned there—no loss just because you switched.
  • •This includes special perks your old boss gave you, like extra leave days.

Example

A teacher works at a community college that gets moved to a new school district.

The teacher keeps all their saved sick days and sabbatical time from before the move. The new district can’t take them away or say they don’t count.

(Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1302, Sec. 146. Effective September 25, 1990.)
