PERS Retirement Service Credit For Sick Leave. The District provides California Government Code Section 20965 option for service credit for unused sick leave for eligible CalPERS members in the bargaining unit. The Public Employees Retirement Law (PERL) and CalPERS rules will govern the eligibility of unused sick leave earned on or after October 19, 2009, for service credit. Those rules presently grant 0.004 years of service credit for each certified unused day of sick leave accrued by the member during the normal course of his/her employment. For employees whose effective date of retirement is within four months of separation from employment with the District, the District shall certify to CalPERS all such unused days of sick leave that were accrued by the employee on or after October 19, 2009. For purposes of Government Code Section 20965, leave accrued prior to October 19, 2009, shall not be considered “unused” sick leave and the District will not certify such sick leave to CalPERS, unless the employee has made the one-time election to convert such pre-October 19, 2009 sick leave to PERS credit eligible sick leave pursuant to Paragraph C below.
