SICK LEAVE BANK
A sick leave bank will be established for the use of all certified and classified employees who choose to participate starting with July 1, 2001. Eligibility of sick leave bank days will commence on the first day after the exhaustion of personal sick leave and family sick leave, respectively. Use of the leave bank will be the lesser of the benefits stated in the table below or the physician’s certification that the employee is able to return to work. Bank days will not be available once the employee qualifies for disability insurance. The bank year will be the contract year. There will be no carryover of days from one year to the next. Contributed leave days may not be returned to employees at the end of the year.
To be eligible to participate in the benefits of the sick leave bank, the employee must:
a. contribute up to one (1) personal day and up to eight (8) additional sick leave days, according to the schedule in the Schedule of Contributions and Benefits.
b. enroll in the bank no later than September 1 of the contract year.
