Payment of Paid Sick Leave. 9.3.5.1 A regular faculty member shall be paid at the regular salary rate during the period he/she is using accrued paid sick leave. A regular faculty member who has used all accrued sick leave will be advanced as much sick leave as the employee could earn during the remainder of the academic year. Sick leave payment for adjunct faculty and long-term temporary employees is provided only as earned.
9.3.5.1.1 Please refer to Section 9.3.8 for provisions related to the use of sick leave for maternity/paternity reasons.
9.3.5.2 If absence because of illness or injury extends beyond the foregoing allowance, the employee may be eligible for “five month law” benefits (Education Code §87780). If the employee provides the District with an acceptable medical verification, the employee shall be compensated at the rate of fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s regular salary, commencing with the date that the paid sick leave terminated and ending five (5) months after the original absence. The benefit provided in this article shall not be cumulative from year to year nor shall an employee be credited with more than one (1) entitlement of the “five month law” benefit for a single illness or injury. This benefit is available to the employee whether or not he/she is placed on long-term personal leave for health reasons by the Board. Long-term temporary employees are not eligible for this benefit.
