Annual Sick Leave Conversion. In November of each calendar year, a qualifying member may, at the member’s option, elect to convert for payment up to ten (10) hours of the member’s accrued but unused sick leave. A member electing such conversion shall submit a written request in November to the Board of Trustees or its designee specifying the number of accrued but unused sick leave hours to be converted, not to exceed ten (10) such hours. Requests for conversion received other than in November will be disregarded. All payments for converted sick leave hours will be based upon the member’s regular hourly rate as of November 1 of such calendar year. Payment for the converted hours will be made in December. A qualifying member is defined as a member who has an accumulated sick leave balance of at least 350 hours as of November 1 of the calendar year in which the request for payment is made.
