Gov. Chris Christie: Your Payment For Not Getting Sick

Do you think public employees should receive payment for unused sick days when they retire? Take our poll below!

 

Gov. Chris Christie has been pushing sick pay reform since he took office. He vetoed a bill last December that would have provided a maximum $15,000 payout for public employees when they retire.

The state Legislature took no action on the governor's veto in 2011. Christie has proposed that no new state employees be eligible for any unused sick days.
