Common use of Advance Sick Leave Clause in Contracts

Advance Sick Leave. (a) No sick leave in excess of the leave accumulated to the employee's credit may be granted unless approved by the Commissioner of Administrative Services. Such authorization shall be granted only in cases involving extended periods of illness or injury. In determining whether or not to request an advance of sick leave, the appointing authority shall consider the following facts: (1) The length of state service of the employee; (2) The classification of the employee; (3) The sick leave record of the employee for the current and for the four preceding calendar years; (4) A medical certificate which shall be on the prescribed form and which shall include the nature of the illness, the prognosis, and the probable date when the employee will return to work; (5) And any other relevant material. (b) No advance of sick leave may be authorized unless the employee submits a written request and has first exhausted all accrual to his/her credit for sick leave, personal leave, earned time and for vacation leave, including current accruals. No advance of sick leave may be granted unless an employee has completed at least five years of full-time work service. If approved, such extension shall be on the basis of one day at full pay for each completed year of full-time work service. In no case shall advanced sick leave exceed thirty days at full pay. If denied, the employee shall receive a written statement of the reasons for such denial. Any dispute arising from said denial shall be grievable through Step III of the grievance procedure. (c) Any such advanced sick leave as may be granted by the Commissioner of Administrative Services or designee shall be repaid by a charge against such sick leave as the employee may subsequently accrue. Upon the employee’s return to duty, one-half of the employee’s monthly sick leave accrual shall be deducted for the re-payment of the advanced sick leave, i.e. if an employee would otherwise accrue ten (10) hours of sick leave for a month, the employee shall be granted five (5) hours of sick leave and the other five (5) hours shall be applied to the amount of advanced sick leave owed.
