Accrual and Utilization Sample Clauses
The "Accrual and Utilization" clause defines how certain benefits, such as paid leave or vacation time, are earned and used by employees over time. Typically, this clause outlines the rate at which benefits accumulate (for example, monthly or annually) and sets forth the conditions or procedures for employees to use their accrued entitlements, such as requesting time off in advance or adhering to blackout periods. Its core practical function is to provide clear guidelines for both employers and employees regarding the earning and use of benefits, thereby preventing misunderstandings and ensuring fair and consistent application of company policies.
Accrual and Utilization. At the beginning of each year of service in the District, each principal will be credited with 15 days of sick leave. The unused portion of such allowance shall accumulate from year to year to a maximum amount not to exceed the total number of annual work days specified in the principal's contract.
Accrual and Utilization. At the beginning of each year of service in this District each teacher shall be credited with a 12 day sick leave allowance to be used for absences caused by personal or family illness or disability. Once these twelve days are granted the District cannot retract them. A teacher who is utilizing sick leave shall not have contracted salary reduced. If a teacher's sick leave utilization is high or seems to follow a pattern, the Director of Human Resources may consult with the teacher regarding the use of sick leave. If such utilization of sick leave continues and the Director of Human Resources feels there is an inadequate explanation, he may notify the teacher that a medical verification will be required in the future as a condition of receiving sick leave. The unused portion of such allowance shall accumulate from year to year to a maximum of 280 days. The School District shall allow a teacher to use sick leave for additional purposes as indicated in subsequent subdivisions of this Master Contract. Other exceptions may be made at the discretion of the School District as recommended by the Superintendent. Upon request, a teacher will be provided with an accounting of sick leave utilization.
