The purpose of accrued/earned sick leave is for
employee use when absence is necessary due to the illness or doctor/dentist
appointment of the employee or the employee’s minor/dependent child, or the
employee’s spouse, in cases where medical care of the spouse is necessary.
-
In the event of illness or any other unscheduled absence, the employee must
contact the supervisor before their scheduled starting time, or as soon as
possible, to notify the supervisor of the illness or event and advise the
supervisor of the circumstances and the anticipated length of the absence.
-
Up to a maximum of three days (24 hours) per fiscal year of
accrued sick leave may be used for the illness, medical or dental
appointments of extended family members, which includes mother, father,
adult children, grandmother, grandfather, grandchildren, sister, brother and in-laws. Step
and foster relationships of the above are included in the definition of
extended family members.
An example of the application of the three-day/24-hour extended family
maximum: Assuming that a) an employee has at
least 24 available hours of accrued sick leave and b) has not used any leave
for extended family members during the fiscal year: The employee may use 4
hours of sick leave to take his/her grandchild to the doctor and would have
a balance of 20 hours of his/her total accrued sick leave accrual available
to assist any other eligible extended family members during that fiscal
year. The request for Sick Leave for extended family members must be made on
a Request for Leave form, indicating the family relationship.
-
Employees who have been continuously employed for at least twelve months in
a benefits-eligible position may use up to six weeks (240 hours) of earned
sick leave upon the adoption of a child, in conjunction with Family and
Medical Leave. The employee must apply for Family and Medical Leave through
Human Resources.
-
Employees can roll over a maximum of 528 hours of accrued, unused sick leave
each fiscal year.
-
Unused sick leave is not payable at termination of employment or retirement.
-
Faculty teaching on an extra-service basis who are absent from class due to
illness may use Sick Leave hours equal to the number of contact hours missed
to cover the absence or their pay will be reduced based on the number of
contact hours missed. These hours are in addition to any sick leave/leave
without pay used to cover the primary assignment.
