Common use of Sick Credit Bank Clause in Contracts

Sick Credit Bank. (a) Sick leave is the granting of time off with pay for absences from regularly scheduled hours due to legitimate illness. Each full-time employee in the active employ of the Employer who has completed the probationary period shall receive a credit of ten (10) non-cumulative sick day credits on 1 January of each year. Such sick leave days are to be used for casual absences due to sickness or for the elimination period for Short Term Disability benefits. Employees, upon completing their probationary period, will have the ten days reduced by pro-rating and rounding to the nearest full day for the remaining balance of the year. For example, if the probationary period is completed on July 31st, sick leave entitlement for the balance of the year would be 5/12 of 10 or 4 days. Employees will be allowed to use part or all of their sick day credits in order to engage in personal preventative medical health and dental care or in cases of immediate family illness or family preventative medical health and dental care. Eligible employees may use up to three (3) of these sick day credits for personal purposes, and such requests will be considered approved except where there is insufficient coverage in the work location. (b) Where a full-time employee is absent from work due to legitimate illness, the employee shall not lose regular straight time earnings from the employee’s regularly scheduled hours but shall draw from the employee’s Sick Credit Bank to the extent of the employee’s credits in the Bank. (c) An employee shall be required to submit a physician's certificate with respect to any period of time that the employee is absent due to illness for more than three days. It is understood that the Employer may request doctor's certificates from employees to cover any absence due to illness, where the frequency, circumstances and pattern of the absences so warrant. (d) If an employee’s position is declared redundant while on sick leave, the employee upon return to work shall be entitled to exercise the normal displacement rights set out in Article 10.
