The decision, seen as a major win for workers who’ve saved months or even over a year of unused time, could boost retirement benefits for thousands covered by CalPERS. The court said the law’s ambiguity and the unfairness of denying years of earned time made the original cap unconscionable — turning a small legal dispute into a sweeping victory for public sector workers.
