SICK LEAVE WITH PAY LIMITATION 233. An employee who is absent because of disability leave and who is receiving disability indemnity payments may request that the amount of disability indemnity payment be supplemented with salary to be charged against the employee's sick leave with pay credits so as to equal the net amount the employee would have earned for a regular work schedule minus premium pay adjustments. If the employee wishes to exercise this option, the employee must submit a signed statement to the employee's department no later than thirty (30) days following the employee's release from disability leave.

The employee is entitled to use accumulated personal leave as sick leave if the employee has already used the current year’s sick leave component of the personal leave entitlement as personal sick leave.
