PAID TIME OFF/EXTENDED ILLNESS BANK.
Section 9.2: Extended Illness Bank (EIB).
a. EIB can be accessed immediately in the following situations: • From the first day of employee hospitalization, or outpatient surgical procedure where moderate sedation is used; • From the first day off due to an employee’s accident or illness eligible for Workers’ Compensation benefits.
b. A combination of PTO hours and EIB hours are used to continue an employee’s pay in the event of illness or injury in accordance with applicable laws. PTO hours will be used for the first two (2) workdays off due to the same illness or injury. If no PTO is accrued, the first two days absent will be without pay. Beginning with the third workday absent, accrued EIB hours are used in place of accrued PTO hours. (Employees scheduled to work 10-hour shifts may use EIB for illness or injury after the first 30 hours absent.) Starting the first full pay period after December 31, 2019, no further EIB accrual will occur. All existing EIB accruals for then-current employees shall be frozen as of that date and shall be placed in a bank for each respective employee. Employees hired on or after ratification will not accrue or participate in EIB. For a period of one (1) year (through Dec. 31, 2020), accrued EIB may be used for the following purposes:
1. Top-up short-term disability/paid parental leave pay to 100%.
2. Top-up Workers’ Compensation pay to 100%
3. Use to care for a family member when out on an approved FMLA, after a waiting period of missed work that is equal to the short of the equivalent of three regularly scheduled work shifts or twenty-four (24) scheduled hours
4. EIB may be utilized during the elimination period prior to short-term disability leave. Starting the first full pay period after December 31, 2019, the Employer will provide a Short Term Disability and Paid Parental Leave benefit. Short Term Disability and Parental Leave will be paid at 65% of the employee’s base rate of pay plus shift differential plus certification premium, if applicable. Participation shall be subject to specific plan eligibility requirements and timely submission of benefit election. Beginning January 1, 2020, employees may also be eligible for paid family and medical leave benefits through the state-administered Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave Act. Both the Employer and employees will be required to pay into this program at the statutory rates. Employer-offered short-term disability and paid parental leave benefits are coordinated ...
