SICK LEAVE, EMERGENCY LEAVE. 10.1 Each employee shall accumulate one (1) day of sick leave for each calendar month worked. A calendar month has been worked if an employee has completed eleven (11) workdays (time worked or paid leave) in the calendar month. For the purposes of this section, a workday is defined as a complete day of assigned work, either worked time or paid leave time. (For example, a driver who works an am, midday and pm route works a day only if s/he completes his/her am, midday and pm route.)
10.1.1 The District will comply with all the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. Consistent with state law, an employee may also use his/her sick leave to care for: (a) his/her child with a health condition that requires treatment or supervision; or (b) his/her spouse, parent, parent-in-law, or grandparent who has a serious health condition or an emergency condition. Regular employees shall be allowed to use a maximum of five (5) days of sick leave per year when absence from work is required because of serious illness of a member of the immediate family (sibling, grandchild or a domestic partner who is documented through an Affidavit of Domestic Partnership on file in payroll) where the immediate family member is hospitalized, critically ill, expected terminally ill, or where a medical doctor certifies that the employee's presence is required. A medical note documenting the illness of a family member may be required by the District at any time. Notwithstanding the five-day limitation set forth above, an employee whose leave qualifies under FMLA shall not go into unpaid leave status until all paid leave has been used.

SICK LEAVE, EMERGENCY LEAVE. Employees shall accumulate sick leave on the basis of one day per month pro-rated according to the daily hours worked by the employee.

Employees who are ill or injured may be required to present to the employer a doctor's certificate. This will usually not be requested until after the third consecutive workday. Regular employees shall be allowed to use a maximum of five (5) days of sick leave per year for an emergency. An emergency is defined as an unforeseen and suddenly precipitated occurrence of a serious nature beyond the control of the employee which threatens the well-being or the property of the employee. The emergency must be of such a nature that preplanning is not possible or could not relieve the necessity for the employee’s absence. In all cases, the reason for the emergency absence shall be submitted on a time sheet along with the supervisor’s approval. As an added incentive for employees not to be off the job sick, the District will allow an additional day of vacation for every six (6) consecutive months that an employee does not use their sick leave. This provision may be reopened in the event that any state agency indicates in writing that this provision is out of compliance with state or federal laws. Sick leave may be donated by employees to other employees of the District to the extent consistent with state law and District policy. Within five (5) days after expiration of accumulated sick leave, if an employee is not medically fit to perform his/her regular assignment, he/she will terminate or apply for the appropriate leave as provided for in Article XI.
