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, 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.
