Conversion to Sick Leave. 36.§8.1 Employees on annual leave who become ill or are injured and who thereby require (1) hospitalization, (2) emergency surgery/treatment and convalescence therefrom, or (3) medically-prescribed confinement may convert such period of time to sick leave. 36.§8.2 Employees who return home from or significantly interrupt annual leave because of death, injury or illness of a person other than the employee, for which sick leave could normally be used, may convert such time to sick leave, provided that such illness or injury requires (1) hospitalization and/or (2) emergency surgery/treatment and convalescence requiring the presence of the employee. Employees on annual leave at home shall have the same privilege. 36.§8.3 Upon the Employer’s request, an employee seeking to convert annual leave to sick leave under this Article must produce written medical verification as required by the Employer describing and verifying the injury or illness and hospitalization or treatment therefrom. 36.§8.4 When placing an employee on a medical leave of absence for which the employee will be receiving benefits under the University’s Long-term Disability Insurance Program, the Employer will not charge any paid time to the employee’s annual leave if the employee has requested the Employer not to do so, in writing.
