Leave Pay. A. Any bargaining unit employee absent from duty because of personal illness or injury shall be paid the person’s full salary for the period of time off, not to exceed the total number of unused accumulated sick leave days in his/her personal account. Sick leave days shall accrue effective the first day of school at the rate of ten (10) days per school year. Part-time teachers will receive sick leave days on a pro-rata basis. Teachers who are employed after the beginning of a given school year shall be granted, for the balance of that school year, as many sick leave days as there are months remaining in the school year. During any school year, a teacher earns sick leave days only to the limit of what he/she actually works. Where teachers leave before earning the number of sick days used in a school year, they will reimburse the Board for the difference.
