Extended Illness and Accident Leave. 10.5.1 If an employee has utilized all of their accumulated sick leave and is still absent from their duties on account of illness or accident, the unit member may borrow 10 days of paid sick leave from the following year. In turn, the employee shall agree in writing to repay upon resignation or within 2 years, whichever is sooner, any monies owed the Board as a result of there being at that time an excess of used sick leave days over the earned sick leave days. 10.5.2 After all earned leave as set forth in paragraph 10.5.1 is exhausted, additional non-accumulated leave shall be available to provide for an extended illness and accident leave period. During this period, the employee shall be paid the difference between the pay of the substitute or the amount that would have been paid the substitute (if no substitute is employed) and the employee's daily rate of pay. The maximum length of differential pay leave shall be five (5) months.

Extended Illness and Accident Leave. 11.7.1 During each school year, when a person employed in a position requiring certification qualifications has exhausted all available sick leave, including all accumulated sick leave, and continues to be absent from his/her duties on account of illness or accident for an additional period of five school months, whether or not the absence arises out of or in the course of the employment of the employee, the amount deducted from the salary due him/her for any of the additional five months in which the absence occurs shall not exceed the sum that is actually paid a substitute employee employed to fill his/her position during his/her absence or, if no substitute employee was employed, the amount that would have been paid to the substitute had he/she been employed.
