VESTING OF SICK LEAVE. Each regular full time employee is entitled to sick leave of one (1) day (8 hours) per calendar month of employment, at full pay, beginning the first day of employment on which contractual work begins; i.e., 10 month employees receive ten (10) days (80 hours) per calendar year; 11 month employees receive eleven (11) days (88 hours) per calendar year, 12 month employees receive twelve (12) days (96 hours) per calendar year. Annual sick leave credit shall be vested at the beginning of the school year. An employee must work one-half the working days in a pay period to receive sick leave credit for that period. Absences of an employee on sick leave, personal business leave or vacation shall be considered the same as time worked. Sick leave credit will be reduced by one (1) hour for each hour which the employee is absent for reasons covered by the sick leave policy. Official sick leave records shall be kept in the Payroll Department and employees will be notified of their vested balance of sick leave days within a reasonable time after requesting the information.
