Sick leave bank days shall not be available for an employee on a day-to- day basis, unless used for a serious and/or chronic medical condition.
4. Requests for the use of sick leave bank days shall be provided to the Department of Human Resources and to the Association.

Up to ten (10) sick leave days will be allocated to each eligible applicant. If there are sick leave days remaining in the bank at the end of the school year, they will be allocated on a pro-rated basis among eligible sick leave bank participants based upon the number of days for which an employee would have been eligible if there were no ten (10) day limitation.

The SLB will provide members with 100% compensation, for up to 12 months, dating from the first day of illness or disability. The SLB will be administered by the District in conjunction with this Association and the Bloomfield District Employee Association and Supervisors.

As a result, that unit member will receive no sick leave bank income protection from the District. If a unit member leaves the bank he or she cannot take the days out that he or she has donated.

If the accumulated sick leave days available drops below 100 sick leave days, unit members will be notified and will contribute 1 additional sick leave day to replenish the SLB. Unit members not wishing to participate at that time must notify the District by June 30th of that year. The Association President and the Superintendent will review the status at other times in the event of an unanticipated deficit and may require an additional contribution to correct the deficit, subject to the unit member’s right to opt out of the SLB.
