Accumulation of Sick and Personal Pay. An employee who has any unused Sick and Personal Pay remaining at the end of a calendar year may elect during the Open Enrollment Period of each year to accumulate such unused Sick and Personal Pay, up to a maximum of two hundred and forty (240) hours, and have such pay carried forward to the following calendar year for use in the event of approved absences. Absent such an election, all unused Sick and Personal Pay attributable to the current year will be paid as an allowance in February at the rates in effect during the pay period including December 31 of the prior calendar year including, if applicable, night shift bonus for employees who are regularly scheduled on a night shift. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section (a), effective 7/1/95, an employee who is otherwise eligible for short term disability benefits under the GE Life, Disability and Medical Plan may be retained at full pay during an extended absence due to illness or injury, to the extent possible, by combining any accumulated pay under this section with Short Term Disability benefits. Such an employee may restore eligibility for Sick and Personal Pay earned and expended in a given year to the extent such pay was expended for an absence that was later determined to be covered by Short Term Disability or Workers' Compensation Benefits by repaying the net amount of pay received in the same calendar year. If an employee is unable to repay because of hardship, management may approve the employee's request to take time off without pay for subsequent absences which would otherwise qualify for payment of Sick and Personal Pay and are within the eligibility schedule set forth in Section a.
