Uses of Sick Leave a. Sick leave shall be accrued before being taken, provided that an employee who participates in a sick leave pool shall not be prohibited from using sick leave otherwise available to the employee through the sick leave pool.
b. Sick leave shall be authorized for the following:
1. The employee's personal illness or exposure to a contagious disease, which would endanger others.
2. The employee's personal appointments with a health care provider.
3. The illness or injury of a member of the employee's immediate family, at the discretion of the supervisor. Approval of requests for use of reasonable amounts of sick leave for caring for a member of the employee's immediate family shall not be unreasonably withheld. "Immediate family" means the spouse and the grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, children, and grandchildren of both the employee and the spouse, and dependents living in the household.
Amount of Sick Leave Employees shall be granted sick leave on the basis of one and one-half (1 1/2) days per month of service in a continuing appointment, at the F.T.E. of current appointment. If in any one year employees have not used their sick leave, or only a portion thereof, it shall accrue to their credit for future use and benefits.
Paid Sick Leave For those jurisdictions that have passed or will pass legislation requiring Paid Sick Leave, Paid Sick Time will be billed back to Client at the straight-time bill rate for all hours taken by any Consultant assigned to Client. This section is not applicable until the effective date of such legislation has been reached.
Reinstatement of Vacation Days - Sick Leave In the event an employee is sick or injured prior to the commencement of his/her vacation, such employee shall be granted sick leave and the vacation period so displaced shall be added to the vacation period if requested by the employee and by mutual agreement, or shall be reinstated for use at a later date.
Vacation and Sick Leave During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to (a) sick leave in accordance with the Company’s policies applicable to similarly situated executive officers of the Company from time to time and (b) 4 weeks paid vacation each calendar year (up to 40 hours of which may be carried forward to a succeeding year).
Sick Leave Section 1. Xxxx leave credit will be earned in the following manner for full-time and part-time RNs only, excluding intermittent nurses.
A. One hundred twenty (120) hours shall be credited to a yearly sick leave pool as of the first full pay period in January of each year. Nurses who are not in pay status at the beginning of the year will have their sick hours pro-rated based on the percentage of the year missed. Sick time may be accumulated without limitation. Previously accumulated sick leave of employees shall be credited to their sick leave pool. Sick leave hours are pro-rated according to appointment level for part-time nurses. A physician's excuse is required following the fortieth (40th) consecutive hour of sick leave, when the leave is of a duration greater than forty (40) hours.
B. If the sick leave pool is exhausted any nurse may retroactively use accrued vacation time in lieu of unpaid sick leave.
Section 2. The provisions of this article shall apply to maternity and/or any disability arising therefrom. Sick leave benefit may be utilized for the duration of maternity and/or any resulting physical disability which is validated by a physician's certificate, so long as accrued time is available. When accrued time is not available, unpaid maternity leave is available to allow for a total leave of twelve (12) weeks, including all time taken for child- rearing purposes.
Section 3. If a nurse's physical disability continues beyond the time covered by his/her accumulated sick leave, he/she shall be granted a leave of absence without pay for a period up to six (6) months provided there is evidence submitted to the supervisor as to inability to work and the probable date of return. Upon a successful return to work exam and returning from leave, the nurse will be returned to his/her position if it has not been permanently filled; otherwise he/she shall be given whatever work is available for which he/she is qualified and will be given the first opportunity for consideration to return to his/her position when the position is open.
Section 4. Disability Leave may be granted instead of unpaid leave of absence, if there is no evidence or probable date of the nurse's return to work, or if an illness or disability continues past expiration of the unpaid leave. A nurse who has been given a Disability Leave shall have the right to be reinstated to the same or similar position he/she held at the time of his/her leave within thirty (30) days after written application for reinstatement and after passing a return to work examination by a licensed physician designated by the Center, showing that he/she has recovered from such disability, provided further that such application for reinstatement be filed within three (3) years from the date of separation, and further provided that such application not be filed after the date of service eligibility retirement. The Center will fill vacancies caused by long-term medical leaves that exist for a period of six (6) months, depending upon staffing needs of the department as determined by Center Administration and the employment availability of qualified registered nurses. This section shall not be construed as restricting Center management from taking appropriate action at an earlier date.
Section 5. If a nurse so chooses, he/she may use any earned but unused vacation or compensatory time before being granted a leave of absence without pay. A declaration of intent regarding such usage shall be made prior to the expiration of any accumulated sick leave. Requests to use vacation or compensatory time will not be honored once he/she has been granted an unpaid leave of absence.
Section 6. Nurses reinstated to their former position, recalled from layoff or who re-enter Center employment within ten (10) years shall be credited with any accumulated sick leave balance remaining at the end of their previous service. No prior credit is given if the employee was out of service more than ten (10) years, except for military leave.
Section 7. All previously accumulated and unused and/or unpaid sick leave of a nurse who has been separated from the public service shall be placed in his/her credit upon re- employment at the Center, provided that such re-employment takes place within ten
Unused Sick Leave The accrual of unused sick leave hours is unlimited. The City and the Union commit to the evaluation and establishment of a mutually beneficial non-use of sick leave incentive and pay-out policy. Until such time that a policy is established, accumulated sick leave shall be compensated as follows: Upon retirement from the City service, an employee shall be paid sixty percent (60%) of his accumulated sick leave, with the rate of payment based upon his regular pay at the time he retires. Upon the death of an employee, his beneficiary shall be paid sixty percent (60%) of his accumulated unused sick leave, with the payment based upon his regular pay at the date of his death.
Sick Leave Bank The school corporation agrees to, and hereby establishes a voluntary sick leave bank to which certificated persons may contribute unused sick leave days, and from which a contributing individual may draw sick leave days when the individual’s annual and accumulated sick leave days are exhausted, in accordance with the following provisions. Please see the definitions of sick leave under Article IV.
1. The sick leave bank shall apply to all persons employed by the school corporation whose employment requires the holding of a license issued by the Indiana Department of Education, whether or not any such person is a member of the bargaining unit to which this contract applies.
2. A “contributing individual” is one who, within the first thirty (30) days of the contract year, signs a contribution form. Such contribution form shall require the assigning of one (1) day of sick leave to the sick leave bank and an individual may contribute up to five (5) total days if so motivated during any enrollment period.
3. A person shall cease to be a contributing individual upon the failure of such individual to sign such contribution form and such individual shall thereafter not be entitled to draw any sick leave days from the sick leave bank until becoming a contributing member the following year.
4. Present and new faculty members who wish to become “contributing individuals” may do so by following the procedure in paragraph two (2). Staff who hire in after the annual enrollment period closes can still enroll under equivalent timelines as original enrollment period.
5. Use of the sick leave bank shall be subject to the following limitations:
a. Sick bank leave shall be used on a teacher’s first day receiving no pay as long as the teacher has exhausted all accumulated sick days, as well as all annual sick and personal days. Days may need to be allotted retroactively to allow time for the sick bank committee to meet and review the request. In the event a teacher on sick bank leave returns to work and then finds it necessary on advice of a doctor to take additional leave for the same disability, no additional days shall be deducted subject to the approve of the Sick Bank Review Committee.
b. In the even a teacher is disabled as a result of illness or injury of a different nature during the same school year, any additional sick leave bank time granted is subject to approval of the Sick Bank Review Committee.

Sick bank leave shall be used for the purposes permitted by the Federal Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and must be supported by a written request by the contributing individual and the appropriate FMLA certification specifying the nature of the illness and prognosis report for the teacher’s return to work.
d. Days taken from the sick leave bank shall apply only to those days on which a teacher would receive pay if the teacher were not under disability.
e. All contractual leave days shall be waived while drawing pay from the sick leave bank so that a teacher in no case will be drawing double pay for any day.
f. This sick leave bank section shall not operate in any manner such that any teacher receiving workers compensation benefits receives more than such teacher’s regular pay.
g. Paid holidays, if any, shall not be charged against the sick leave bank, but shall be compensated for under the terms of the teacher’s contract.
h. Sick leave bank days shall not be used during summer school employment, nor shall such days be used at any other times except the regular school year.
i. Leave from the sick leave bank may not be used for maternity or childbirth leave, but may be used for any physical disability arising out of a pregnancy.
j. Teachers who, as of the beginning of the school year in which sick leave bank benefits are requested and used, have accumulated the following number of sick leave days under the sick leave section of this contract, shall be eligible to draw up to a maximum number of days from the sick leave bank in any single year as follows:
(1) 0-10: Up to 60 days (2) 11-40: Up to 90 days (3) 41 or over: Up to 120 days k. Teachers may be awarded fewer than maximum days (listed in Section j) at the discretion of the Sick Bank Review Committee.
6. Should the sick leave bank fall to a thirty (30) day balance during a school year, an additional contribution will be requested and will count toward the subsequent enrollment period.
7. A Sick Bank Review Committee shall be formed and shall be comprised of three (3) members appointed by the exclusive representative and one (1) individual appointed by the Superintendent. The committee shall consider and review all requests for use of sick bank days to ensure that all applications submitted, and any grants made, are in accordance with the provisions of this contract.
8. The school district shall notify certificated employees of the enrollment period for the sick bank, including required contribution forms and appropriate deadlines, within the first five (5) school days of each school year.
9. If there are seven hundred and fifty (750) days in the bank at the time of open enrollment, no contribution will be necessary unless it falls below the previously described number of thirty (30) days.
