Sick Leave Days (Compensatory. Sick days for personal illness of non-instructional employees shall be earned at the rate of 1.1 days per month. An employee must have sixteen (16) or more paid days each month in order to be eligible for the 1.1 sick days for that month. No sick leave benefits for new employees will start until the employee completes his probationary period (except health insurance). An annual statement of remaining sick leave days shall be issued to each employee during the month of July each year. One-half (½) of an employee’s annual sick leave will be credited at the beginning of the work year, July 1st. The second half (½) of an employee’s annual sick leave will be credited on January 1st. Sick days shall be prorated upon retirement, termination, or resignation to reflect days used over 1.1 days per month. This shall be deducted from the employee’s final paycheck. Unused sick days shall accumulate following the end of each year, not payable upon demand (must be used as sick leave days). Employees exhausting their current year’s sick leave shall be asked for justification each time they access their accumulated sick leave bank. A sick leave day shall not be granted for the day preceding or the day following holidays or vacations or the first and last days of the work year, unless a doctor’s note is provided. Matters of emergency nature are allowable at the discretion of the superintendent or designee. Hospitalization and group life insurance shall continue to be paid by the Board of Education to cover the extended illness of an employee for a period not to exceed one (1) year following the total use of accumulated sick leave days. Absence occasioned by an emergency illness in the immediate household shall be allowed at full pay as in the case of personal illness and will be deducted from normal sick days. If the employer has reason to believe that sick days are being abused, with prior written notice, employees may be requested by the human resources office to produce a doctor’s statement or substantial evidence that illness was the cause of absence. Twelve (12) month employees may accumulate a total of thirteen (13) sick leave days per year. Ten (10) and ten and one-half (½) month employees may accumulate a total of eleven (11) sick leave days per year.
