Sick leave may be taken in fifteen (15) minute increments. 2. Sick leave in cases of serious illness to family shall be limited to five (5) days.

The employee will notify his or her immediate supervisor when using sick leave unless, due to the nature of the illness, the employee seeks privacy and confidentiality and notifies the Human Resources Department instead.

A doctor's statement substantiating illness and/or verifying ability to return to work may be required by the College. Such examination costs will be paid by the Board. 5.
