REIMBURSEMENT OF LEAVE. 9.1 Upon retiring (as retirement is defined by the Kansas Public Employment System according to the tier level of the employee), from the district with 20 years teaching experience in the district, the teacher will be reimbursed for all accumulated leave. Upon retiring from the district with 15 years experience in this district the teacher will be reimbursed for 75% of accumulated leave and after 10 years teaching experience in this district, the teacher will be reimbursed for 50% of accumulated leave. Rate of pay would be the daily contract rate at the time of separation or the last five years' average daily rate, whichever is greater. Reimbursement will be made within 60 days of separation from the district. All the years of service counted must be years of service at schools in the U.S.D. #343 School District.

REIMBURSEMENT OF LEAVE. All unearned sick leave granted must be "paid back" to the County when the employee returns. An employee cannot use paid sick leave until the negative balance is erased. If necessary, an employee with a negative sick leave balance can request a second unearned leave extension in a subsequent year. Such an extension, up to a maximum total negative balance of 210/240 hours, must also be "paid back" with earned sick leave time. If an employee terminates while still carrying a negative sick leave balance, the unearned leave extension and any anticipated leave used must be paid back to the County either in cash, as a deduction from the final paycheck or from the employee's retirement system account.
