Removes a provision providing that work hours that extend into the next calendar day count as 2 work days.

- Public workers get training pay, with limits: mixed, medium. Public employees keep regular public pay during annual military training and military-authorized orders that replace it. Both types of orders can qualify in the same calendar year, but payments cover no more than 30 days combined. The leave can happen at separate times. Employers may ask the milita…
