Common use of Reimbursement of Leave Clause in Contracts

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.
