Paid Sick Leave Use. The Employer is prohibited from interfering with the employee’s use of protected Paid Sick Leave they have earned when used for a reason covered by Washington State’s paid Sick Leave Law. Likewise, the employee will not be disciplined or in any way discriminated or retaliated against for lawful use of their earned protected Paid Sick Leave. Employees are not responsible for finding coverage for shifts due to illness or use of sick leave. The Employer shall provide to employees, no less than one time per month, a written notice (paper or electronic) which shows the amount of sick leave the employee accrued since the previous notice, the amount of sick leave used since the previous notice, and the employee’s current unused balance available for use.
Paid Sick Leave Use. A. Officers’ sick leave allowances shall be applied only to absences necessitated by the Officer’s illness or injury, and the right is reserved by the University at any time to require an Officer who has been absent three (3) or more consecutive workdays, or who is suspected of abuse of sick leave at any time, to submit as proof of illness a certificate issued by a physician licensed to practice medicine. Failure to submit proof when requested will automatically disqualify the Officer from sick leave allowance and may result in further disciplinary action. Eligible Officers who have been granted time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for her/his own health condition can use sick leave to receive pay. An eligible Officer who has been granted time off under FMLA for the health condition of a spouse, child, parent, or University- registered domestic partner cannot use sick leave to be paid.
Paid Sick Leave Use. Employees may not use earned sick leave for other purposes than required by law nor will they receive pay in lieu of earned sick leave upon separation of employment or under any other circumstance, except as detailed in the next paragraph.
