Advanced Sick Leave. The College may advance up to sixty (60) days of advanced sick leave to an employee in any twelve month period for the employee’s own serious illness or disability if the employee had used all leave with pay which has been credited to the employee. The employee shall submit a request for advanced sick leave in writing to the College’s Executive Director of Human Resources. The Executive Director of Human Resources shall provide written notice of the approval or disapproval of the request to the employee. The employee shall agree in writing that any advanced sick leave must be repaid in accord with this Article.

Any leave accrued during the period of advanced leave will be applied to the leave.
