Leave Bank for Personal Illness. An employee may opt to transfer for another employee’s use a portion (shall be broken down into hours) of their accumulated leave time not to exceed ten days from any one employee. An employee receiving leave time from another cannot receive more compensation than they normally receive. No employee shall be allowed more than ninety consecutive calendar days, or an employee who is off and under doctor’s care, with doctor’s approval, may return to work under part-time status and use said leave bank for a maximum of one third of their total contracted days. This is allowable for a one-time occurrence only and a contracted day is a day no matter the number of hours. Any unused time must be returned to the donor immediately upon the full-time return to employment by the recipient. An employee must be off work and under doctor’s (M.D. or D.O.) care for at least three consecutive days without pay, per occurrence, before they are eligible to participate in the leave bank. Leave bank is for school employee’s illness only. Any employee whose personal illness extends beyond 180 days, at the discretion of the board, may be granted a lengthened leave of absence not to exceed one additional year with no pay. Upon return from leave, an employee may be assigned to the same or similar position. No days may be just given to another employee.
