Common use of Illness/Disability Clause in Contracts

Illness/Disability. Disability leave is available to cover all absences due to disability caused by illness or injury. 9.2.1 Unit members absent because of illness or injury for three (3) days or more shall be required to furnish a written release from a licensed health care practitioner excusing their absence and allowing their return to work. 9.2.2 Unit members employed on a full‐time basis will be entitled to accumulate ten (10) days per school year of sick leave, available to the unit member for the first work day of each year. If a unit member shall leave the employ of the district before the end of the year, any monies drawn for sick leave in excess of the rate of one day per month will be refunded to the District. 9.2.2.1 Unit members who work less than full-time will be entitled to accumulate and use sick leave for all such service at a rate that is in the same proportion to the full-time entitlement as their part-time employment bears to full-time employment. 9.2.2.2 The District will provide each unit member with an accounting of the number of days of sick leave they have accumulated, plus the number of days to which the unit member is entitled for the current school year. The District will normally provide an accounting of such days to unit members by November 1 of each school year. 9.2.2.3 A unit member is required to report absences as soon as practicable but no less than one hour prior to their start time using the District’s absence management system. It is the professional responsibility of each employee to enter their own absence, unless circumstances preclude them from doing so.
