Xxxx Leave Bank. Section 1: A Sick Leave Bank will be established to relieve a Teacher from undue financial burdens as a result of an absence from work due to the Teacher’s illness, injury, or incapacitation sufficiently severe to make the performance of their duties impossible. Sick Leave Bank leave shall not be used for parenting leave. A Teacher member of the Sick Leave Bank who has exhausted his or her personal leave and sick leave days shall be eligible to apply to the committee for an extension of sick leave benefits. Sick bank days shall not be granted beyond the period when a Teacher would or could be eligible to receive benefits of the School Corporation’s long- term disability program. Unused days in the Sick Leave Bank shall be carried forward to the following year.
Xxxx Leave Bank. The parties mutually agree to establish a Sick Leave Bank (hereafter referred to as the Bank) for employees. Participation in the Bank shall be voluntary. The Bank shall be made operational as soon after the ratification of this contract as possible. The Bank shall be governed by the following procedures:
Xxxx Leave Bank. 1. Bargaining unit employees will contribute a maximum of one hundred ten (110) days of sick leave to the sick leave bank for use as specified in this section. The contribution amount will be divided evenly between semesters. Should the days allocated for distribution in the first semester not be used during that semester the unused days will be available in the second semester. If any unused sick leave bank days are carried over as provided by Paragraph 2 of this Section, then the number of unused days will be equally divided between the first semester and the second semester.
Xxxx Leave Bank. The Board agrees to establish a Sick Leave Bank to cover teachers in the event of a long-term illness. The Sick Leave Bank shall be administered by a committee, hereinafter called the "Administrative Committee," composed of three (3) members of the Association appointed by the President and one (1) member appointed by the Superintendent. Each member shall serve for one (1) year and until a successor shall be appointed. The Administrative Committee shall meet at least monthly. A majority of the members present shall constitute a quorum and a majority vote of those present and voting shall decide all questions. Each teacher wishing to be covered agrees to donate one (1) day from the fifteen (15) days that teacher is allowed to accrue in a one-year period to be deposited in said Bank, such day to be deducted from the teacher's annual sick leave. Teachers who have actually worked sixty (60) days or more may enroll if they have a sick leave day to contribute. Members shall become eligible to request extended benefits from the Sick Leave Bank, after a severe, incapacitating illness or disability of fifteen (15) calendar days, provided they have exhausted all of their accrued sick leave. In no event may the sick bank be allowed to have a negative balance. Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement, once the sick bank reaches a zero balance all withdrawals shall cease until a positive balance is reestablished. No retroactive awards shall be made. In accordance with current practice, sick bank balances are reset on the first day of each fiscal year. Upon presentation of satisfactory medical evidence of disability or illness to the Administrative Committee and approval by said Administrative Committee, a member may be granted up to thirty (30) additional days of sick leave. Should a member with less than three (3) years of service in the School District still be disabled after this time, the member may present the case for review one more time. Should a member with more than three (3) years of service in the School District still be disabled after this time, the member may present the case for review three (3) more times.

Xxxx Leave Bank. A voluntary sick leave bank shall be established whereby a teacher, as defined herein in Article I, who is absent from assigned duties due to personal illness and who has utilized all sick leave and personal leave, or is absent from assigned duties due to the catastrophic illness of a member of his/her immediate family as defined previously in Section G and has utilized all family illness leave and personal leave, may petition a committee, as established herein, for sick leave days from the bank under the following conditions:
Xxxx Leave Bank. 1. Employees who have completed one or more years of service to the School District shall be eligible to participate in a sick leave bank. Each eligible employee who elects to participate in the sick leave bank shall donate one day from the 15 sick leave days credited each year until the sick leave bank accumulates 150 days. If at any time thereafter the sick leave bank reaches a level of 50 days, then every teacher who has elected to participate in the sick leave bank shall donate one sick leave day to the bank. Unused sick leave days in the bank at the close of the school year will carry over into the next year. Any teacher who wishes to rescind a prior election to participate in the sick leave bank may do so by submitting a letter to the Superintendent or his/her designee wherein the teacher specifies that he/she no longer shall participate in the sick leave bank.
Xxxx Leave Bank. The Frankfort-Elberta Area Teachers who wish to initially join a sick leave bank may do so only before the last Friday of September of that year by authorizing in writing that one day be taken from their sick leave for the year and credited to the bank. Membership will be continuing as long as the teacher remains employed with the school district. The Board of Education will match the total original days put in the bank each year. Each member will authorize one day each year, until a maximum shall be attained. The maximum shall be one hundred fifty (150) days plus the membership minus one. Any time that the days in the sick leave bank shall drop to less than twice the membership, each member shall be required to authorize another day deposited in the bank. The maximum number of days that any member shall be required to give in any one year shall be three (3). Any teacher who is a member can draw on the Bank only after his/her accumulated sick leave, emergency and personal business days have been depleted. Tenure teachers may automatically draw up to ten (10) days over the life of their employment with the Frankfort-Elberta Area Schools provided written application is made to the Superintendent of Schools. Upon application, additional days up to thirty (30) may be awarded by the Sick Bank Board. Probationary teachers may join the sick leave bank after one year in the district. Up to ten (10) days may be awarded by the Sick Leave Bank Board upon application. A Board shall be selected to administer the Sick Leave Bank. Two members shall be selected by the Board of Education and two by the participating members. This Board shall have the authority as specified under 4.3A to grant additional sick leave days from the sick leave bank under extenuating circumstances.
Xxxx Leave Bank. The purpose of the Sick Leave Bank is to provide paid days for serious personal illness or family illness to contributors to the Bank who have exhausted their accumulated sick days and who are experiencing prolonged personal or family illness. Allotments will be limited to participating employees for use only in cases of illness, injury or nonelective surgery occurring under unusual, severe or emergency conditions as determined by the SBC. Members may enroll in the Sick Leave Bank during the month of October of each school year. Upon enrollment, a member shall contribute one (1) of his/her accumulated sick days to the Sick Leave Bank. Days contributed to the Sick Leave Bank are non-returnable. Enrollment in the Sick Leave Bank shall be continuous from year to year until a member withdraws provided the member has met the requirements of Section 2a. below. Withdrawals are accepted only during an enrollment period and only upon written notice by the member to the Sick Leave Bank Committee (SBC) of his/her intent to withdraw.
Xxxx Leave Bank. Catastrophic Leave Donation on a case-by-case basis where the District and the Association mutually agree: Any bargaining unit member may irrevocably donate up to two (2) earned and unused days of sick leave to another bargaining unit member who has suffered a long-term or catastrophic illness and who has fully exhausted all paid leaves, including difference pay. Catastrophic leave donations shall not apply to employees whose absence originated as an industrial illness or accident. This provision shall apply to a maximum of four (4) bargaining unit members annually. No bargaining unit member may receive more than twenty-two (22) days annually of donated sick leave. Once donated, the donation becomes irrevocable, even if the donation is not utilized. It shall be the responsibility of the Etiwanda Teachers’ Association to communicate these provisions to bargaining unit members and communicate requests for implementation to the district. The District will prepare and process related sick leave accounting documents.
