Sick Leave

• All full-time, regular employees accrue two (2) hours of personal illness leave per pay period, for a total of six (6) days per year.

• Part-time employees will have their personal time allowances prorated based on the number of hours they ordinarily work per week.

• Sick hours may be used for an employee’s personal illness, well-care, and health appointments. Sick hours may also be used for illness, well-care, and health appointments for an employee’s immediate family members.

• Employees who are unable to report to work due to illness or injury should notify their managers as soon as possible on each day of absence.

• At any time, an employee’s manager or Human Resources representative may request a physician’s statement verifying an employee’s inability to perform his or her job. A physician’s statement may also be required as verification that an employee may safely return to work.

• Sick hours will be accrued to a maximum of 100 hours.

• Sick hours may be used before accrual during the year.

• If sick hours are exhausted, any available vacation or personal hours will be used in their place. Employees are not paid for unused sick hours upon termination of employment.
