Sick Bank Guidelines. A) Upon the execution of this agreement there shall be established a Sick Leave Bank, hereafter referred to as the Sick Bank. The basic purpose of this Bank is to alleviate the effects of prolonged illness, injury, or hospitalization upon the Prairie State College Supportive Staff members. In accordance with this purpose, the Sick Bank shall not be used for single day or short term occurrences.
Sick Bank Guidelines. A sick bank shall be established for service by September 15 of each year. The sick bank guidelines are as follows:
Sick Bank Guidelines. 1. Member must be hired a minimum of two (2) years to be eligible to draw from sick bank and have donated toward the sick bank.
Sick Bank Guidelines. The purpose of the Sick Bank is to aid individual LEA members with paid leave to use for extended personal and/or family illness/injury of a catastrophic nature.
Sick Bank Guidelines. Any employee may make a request(s) to the Association to withdraw days from the bank only after all regular accumulative sick/personal leave has been exhausted. Sick bank days are to only be used for illness or other medical related matters. An application to borrow sick days must accompany all requests made to borrow from the sick bank. The application should be submitted to the KHEA President prior to the absence, or within five school days of first absence. In cases of extended absences, it is the employee’s responsibility to submit medical paperwork excusing the employee from work to the business office prior to the absence, or as close to the start of the absence as possible. Failure to do so may result in a lag or loss of pay. It shall be mandatory that anyone borrowing days from the sick bank will have a gradual payback of two (2) days per year until the days are paid back. Medical appointments: Personal illness and EMERGENCY medical appointments qualify for sick leave. Teachers will attempt to schedule elective surgery during vacation periods. Medical appointments directly related to personal illness qualify for sickleave. Xxxx leave is compensable time off for illness for the teacher and his/her family. Sick leave may not be used for any other purpose than that for which it is intended. Misuse of sick leave may result in a deduction of a day’s pay for each day misused. The Association maintains the right to deny sick bank requests or ask for doctor notes in cases of reasonable suspicion of abuse. The Association maintains the right to review absence history prior to granting sick days from the bank. Upon retirement, the sick bank needs to be reimbursed in full before any sick day payout is made to the employee. KHEA Kenowa Hills Education Association APPENDIX D - 2
