Emergency Sick Leave Bank. 1. Purpose and intent of the Emergency Sick Leave Bank: It is important for members of the bargaining unit requesting use of this benefit to keep in mind the time off benefits given to employees at SRC are generous, both in paid vacation and sick time per year, therefore, the SRCCPA Executive Committee feels that asking other employees that have earned paid time off to “donate” or “give” of their own benefits for use of another employee is VERY significant. The decision to ask others to give up their paid time off benefits to benefit another employee will not be taken lightly and employees requesting these benefits should understand that approval is NOT guaranteed. The eligibility and administration/ procedures of the Emergency Sick Leave Bank are developed to protect the integrity and intent of this emergency benefit. Instances other than what is listed below may be considered based on the circumstances of an individual; however, every effort will be made to adhere to the “Emergency” intent of this benefit. The approval of FMLA leave does not guarantee approval of the use of the Emergency Sick Leave Bank.
