Eligibility for Drawing Leave. No member shall be considered eligible for compensation through the Sick Leave Bank unless such member was on duty or authorized absence including vacation, holiday or personal days on the duty day preceding the commencement of the disabling illness. No member shall be required for purposes of maintaining membership status in the Sick Leave Bank, to contribute more sick leave days than other members. There will be a 60-day waiting period from the first duty day of the following school year for the new Sick Leave Bank members who join during the open enrollment period, during which time they will not have access to the Sick Leave Bank. The 60-day waiting period will start on the first day of the new school year for those who join during Spring Enrollment. New hires have a 30-day waiting period, during which time they will not have access to the Sick Leave Bank. For new hires, the 30-day waiting period will start their first duty.
Eligibility for Drawing Leave. In order to use the Sick Leave Bank, an MBU must have used all of his/her accumulated sick days. Contributors will then be permitted to apply for Sick Leave from the Sick Leave Bank.
