BILL NUMBER:S3467
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to
establishing a leave of absence for veterans
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This legislation would allow a
Veteran to have off for Veterans Day.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 creates a new section 202-m
of labor law to allow-a veteran to be granted a leave of absence from
their employer on Veterans Day if they qualify as a veteran. This
section does allow for a hardship waiver for business. Further this
section states that a Veteran shall put the request in writing before
October 15th. This section shall either be unpaid excused leave or may
be charged to other available leaves at the discretion of the
employee.
Section 2 is the effective date.
JUSTIFICATION: Veterans day is a day to honor and celebrate those who
have served in our Armed Forces. Requiring those who served to work on
those days runs counter to the spirit of this day. This legislation
would allow Veterans to be able to truly enjoy a day that is meant to
honor them by allowing the Veteran the option of taking that day off
if they so choose. At a time when we are looking for ways to thank
those who serve, allowing them to march in parades honoring them or to
