Occasional Sick Leave. Employees shall be entitled to twelve (12) occasional sick leave days per fiscal year (April 1 to March 31). Such leave is not accumulated from year to year. An employee who is absent on occasional sick leave for five (5) or more consecutive working days may be required to provide a certificate from a medical practitioner certifying that he/she was unable to carry out his/her duties due to illness. Where there appears to be a trend in an employee’s use of occasional sick leave benefits, the employee’s supervisor may meet with the employee to discuss the situation. Such discussion shall not be considered disciplinary. If following that discussion, the sick leave usage trend appears to be continuing, the Employer may require the employee to provide a certificate from a medical practitioner for any occasional sick leave of four (4) or more consecutive working days or after an accumulation of seven (7) or more uncertified sick days in any fiscal year.
Occasional Sick Leave. On April 1st of each year each permanent employee shall be credited with five (5) credits of sick leave and each temporary employee shall be credited with three (3) credits of sick leave and shall then accumulate sick leave credits at the rate of seven (7) hours (1 credit) for each period of 162.5 hours paid, to a maximum of 84 hours (twelve (12) credits) for permanent employees and to a maximum of 42 hours (six (6) credits) for temporary employees. Such leave is not accumulated from year to year. It shall be the responsibility of the employee to advise his/her manager or delegate at the beginning of or prior to the first day of any such absence whenever possible. Sick leave is to be utilized in case of personal illness/appointments or illness/appointments related to an immediate family member. An employee who is absent on Occasional Sick Leave for three (3) or more consecutive working days may be required to provide a medical certificate from the employee’s treating physician who examined her/him during the period of absence. Where an employee appears to be taking sick leave benefits in a pattern that could suggest abuse, the Employer may require the employee to provide a medical certificate to substantiate any requests for future sick leave. Failure to provide such a medical certificate will result in loss of these benefits for any unsubstantiated days.
