Thereafter, ten month employees will be awarded ten (10) sick days at the beginning of each school year, and twelve month employees will be awarded fifteen (15) sick days each July 1st. Annual allotments will not be awarded until employees are in actual attendance. If an employee becomes ill during the initial year of employment, sick leave pay will be granted up to the yearly allotment regardless of the amount earned to that date. Should an employee leave the District before completion of that year, however, sick leave pay extended beyond the pro-rated basis mentioned above will be deducted from the last paycheck. Unused sick leave may accumulate to two hundred forty (240) days beyond the annual allotment. Loss of time for illness in the immediate dependent family shall be judged on the same basis as sick leave. The District may require the employee to provide medical documentation for personal or immediate family member illness after an absence of three (3) days. Certification may be required, thereafter, at any time or whenever patterns of absence (i.e. such as Mondays or Fridays) or sick leave abuse is suspected. Failure to comply with appropriate sick leave policies and procedures may result in disciplinary action.
