LEAVE PAY. A. Catastrophic leave pay may be available to an employee as set forth herein pursuant to the provisions of Education Code section 87045. Catastrophic leave pay shall consist of the amount of sick leave credit, vacation time, or compensatory time off credits that are donated to the affected employee by other employees.
1. Donations of sick leave credit shall be made in blocks that are equivalent to one day of leave for the donating employee. An employee who donates sick leave credits shall be required to have a sick leave balance equivalent to five days (e.g., full-time employee = 40 hours) following the donation.
2. Donations of vacation time or compensatory time off credits shall be made in blocks of not less than two hours per donating employee.
B. For the purpose of calculating credits for an employee who receives catastrophic pay, the following shall apply:
1. If the employee who donates eligible time credits is at a different salary rate than the employee who receives the credits, the formula to be used shall be: Donating employee's hourly rate multiplied by number of hours donated equals $X; $X divided by receiving employee's hourly rate equals the number of catastrophic leave hours available to receiving employee. Example: Donating employee - Secretary (rate $9.00 per hour) donates eight hours: $9.00 x 8 = $72.00; Receiving employee - Clerk (rate $7.00 per hour) will be entitled to: $72.00 ÷ $7.00 = 10.29 hours of catastrophic leave credits.
2. If the employee or employees who donate eligible time credits are at the same salary rate as the employee who receives the credits, the receiving employee shall be credited with the number of hours donated.
3. The receipt of donated time credits under this program shall not serve to extend or modify the terms or limitations of ARTICLE 13, LEAVES OF ABSENCE, paragraph 13.4.4 of this Agreement. However, at the written request of the employee, donated time credits shall be coordinated with differential pay during a period when the employee is on extended sick leave in order to mitigate the impact of the deduction of the substitute’s pay from the employee’s regular pay. Further, at the written request of the employee, donated time credits shall be coordinated with Family Medical Leave Act benefits in order to provide a continuation of income, or to provide an extension of contributions for the District’s health insurance package, or both during the period when the employee does not receive regular wages from the...

Teachers who bank 50 or more (accumulated) sick days can transfer one of those days to a personal day in any one given school year. For example, teachers who receive 2 personal days can add one more from their sick day bank of 50 plus; teachers with three (3) personal days can add one more from their sick day bank of 50 plus days. Unused sick days will accumulate to 100.

LEAVE PAY. A. At the beginning of each school year each teacher shall be credited with twelve (12) days of leave to be used as needed. The leave days may be taken by a teacher for the following reasons and subject to the following conditions:
1. Personal illness or disability, the teacher may use all or any portion of the leave to recover from the teacher's own illness or disability, which shall include childbirth, complications of pregnancy and adoption procedures. In addition, a teacher may use leave under this Paragraph for illness or disability of a child or spouse. In case of excessive absences, the Board of Education shall have the right to have an examination by an agreed to physician.
2. Death in the immediate family which includes parents, spouse, parents of spouse, brothers, sisters, children, grandparents and grandchildren.
3. To care for an immediate family member with a serious health condition, as defined by the Family Medical Leave act, 29 USC Chapter 28. The Board is to have discretionary authority in unusual cases. Effective September 1, 1996, for all sick days that an employee would have accumulated up to sixty-five (65) days a year (ninety (90) days for those teachers grand fathered in1970-1971), the district shall credit the employee with a twenty-five dollar ($25) credit per sick day upon retirement or resignation.
B. At the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year during open enrollment in the fall, teachers will have the option to sign up to receive payment by the district in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25) a day for six (6) of the twelve (12) sick days they receive. The district would deposit the payment into an approved 403 (b) vendor of the teacher’s choice on the last day of that same school year. If, during the school year the teacher was required to use some or all of the six (6) days for which they opted to receive payment, the teacher will receive payment on the last day of that same school year for the portion of the six (6) days they did not use. For example:
LEAVE PAY. A. Qualified employees will receive terminal pay, based on the table below, upon retirement, death, or resignation due to illness, from the Birmingham School System. To qualify for terminal pay, the employee must have been employed for a minimum of fifteen (15) consecutive years on behalf of the Birmingham School System, must work full time, and must have reached the age where the employee is eligible for retirement benefits from the Michigan Public School Employees' Retirement Fund. An employee who qualifies for terminal pay shall receive $4,500 after fifteen (15) years of service and then according to the chart below in Section B, to a maximum of $9,000. These amounts will be paid only upon retirement, death, or resignation due to illness. In the event of death, full retirement terminal pay will be paid to the beneficiary of the employee.
B. Consecutive years of service is defined as a continuous period, during which time the employee fulfills the rules and regulations of the Board of Education policy for employment. Leave of absence will not count as credit towards the minimum fifteen (15) years of employment; however, such leave will sustain the employee's eligibility toward qualification. Retirement shall be defined as the discontinuance of employment in any Michigan public school system, and upon receipt of retirement payments from the Michigan Public School Employees' Retirement Fund.
C. Upon retirement, the employee must take the initiative of notifying the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources if he or she is eligible for the retirement terminal pay. The Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources will check the official school records and forward to the employee and to the Assistant Superintendent for Business Services the outcome. If an employee is eligible, the Finance Department will determine the amount of terminal pay and inform the applicant. Terminal pay will not be paid until the applicant shows evidence that he or she has actually received payments under the Michigan Public School Employees' Retirement Fund law.
D. Regular part time employees will be able to participate under this Article on a pro-rata basis. The basis for pro- ration shall be the length of the working day and the length of the service year.
