Sick Leave Policy. It is the policy of the State of Ohio to not unreasonably deny sick leave to employees when requested. It is also the policy of the State to take corrective action for unauthorized use of sick leave and/or abuse of sick leave. It is further the policy of the State that when corrective and/or disciplinary action is taken, it will be applied progressively and consistently. It is the desire of the State of Ohio that when discipline is applied it will serve the purpose of correcting the performance of the employee.
Sick Leave Policy. [a] The sick leave policy provides full pay in cases of illness and personal bereavement. Sick leave eligibility is based on a single position, not a combination of positions.
(i) For eligible employees, working in a position authorized for six (6) or more hours per day, the following days per year shall be accrued:
(ii) Employees First three (3) years of employment Succeeding years, beginning July 1st of fourth year 9 month 7 days 10 days 10 month 8 days 11 days 11 month 9 days 12 days 12 month 10 days 13 days

Bus drivers and bus assistants authorized hours effecting sick leave eligibility shall be established on November 1 for the following twelve (12) month period. Daily authorized hours shall be calculated by averaging total scheduled regular run hours in the twenty (20) work days preceding November 1. The daily authorized hours shall be rounded up or down to the nearest half hour except where rounding up would create sick leave eligibility. An adjustment shall be made in the authorized hours prior to November 1 of the following year if the assignment is adjusted by five (5) hours or more per week.
(iv) Accumulation of days will be unlimited. For all classified employees, the totals shall be interpreted to be effective on July 1st although they are earned as employees work throughout the year. Employees who terminate or resign employment shall be required to repay the value of sick leave used but not yet earned.
(v) Only extended contract with continuous service within any given month which can be evaluated to equal one-half month or more of a regular school year service shall apply. Evaluation shall be at the discretion of the Superintendent.
(vi) Employees that lose eligibility to accrue additional sick leave shall be allowed to utilize sick leave from their accrued balance. [b] The sick leave policy is designed to assist personnel who have to remain away from work because of illness.

Sick Leave Policy. Xxxx leave is a paid leave. Sick leave shall be allowed in case of an employee’s bona fide illness or injury, or for an employee’s doctor/health appointments. Sick leave shall be approved by the Department Director or a designated representative. Whenever possible, employees shall make appointments for medical, dental, and other health and wellness purposes on non-work time. If this is not possible, sick leave may be used for these purposes and should not exceed four (4) hours, except in unusual circumstances. In addition to the foregoing, sick leave may be used as family sick leave to care for an ill or injured family member or to take a family member to a doctor appointment. A family member is a child, parent, spouse, registered domestic partner, the child of a registered domestic partner, grandparent, grandchild, or sibling. For family members who reside in the employee’s home, there is no limit on the amount of sick leave that can be used as family sick leave by full-time or part-time employees. For family members who reside outside of the employee’s home, up to half of the employee’s annual sick leave accruals per calendar year may be used as family sick leave by full-time employees. Part-time employees are allowed to use up to half of their annual sick leave accruals (based on their budgeted work schedules) per calendar year as family sick for family members who reside outside of the employee’s residence. Sick leave may also be taken for specified purposes by employees who are the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. If an employee exhausts all accrued sick leave, the employee may apply for another eligible paid or unpaid leave as provided for in this Memorandum of Understanding. If no other leave is approved, the leave will be documented as Unauthorized Leave Without Pay. No sick leave accruals will be credited in advance. Xxxx leave will not be earned while on an unpaid leave. If sick leave is used for purposes that qualify under a State or Federal leave law, such as the Family Medical Leave Act/California Family Rights or Pregnancy Disability Leave, the leave taken will count toward the State or Federal leave entitlement. If an employee is unable to return to work and has exhausted all leave entitlements, the employee may be retired for disability or separated.
Sick Leave Policy. The College recognizes that from time to time employees will need to take sick leave. Paid sick leave will be used only for personal illness, adoption, injury or pregnancy, or medical appointments necessary to earn health points. Xxxx leave may also be used for death, illness, or injury to a member of the employee’s immediate family. Sick leave shall be paid at the employee’s regular rate of compensation. Employees who properly use sick leave in accordance with article 17 and/or college policy and procedure will not be disciplined.
Sick Leave Policy. Sick leave shall be allowed in case of actual sickness of the employee, or a member of the employee’s family as provided in Section 10.02 of this Memorandum of Understanding. Sick leave shall be recommended by the employee’s supervisor and approved by the City Manager or a designated representative.
Sick Leave Policy. The parties recognize the Employer’s right to promulgate reasonable work rules regarding the use of sick leave. Such policies shall not be arbitrary or capricious. It is the policy of the Auditor of State to permit employees to be absent from work on a short-term basis due to personal illness, pregnancy, injury, exposure to contagious disease or to illness, injury or death in the employee’s immediate family. The purpose of this policy is to establish a consistent method of authorizing employee sick leave, eliminating inappropriate use of sick leave and outlining the discipline and corrective action for inappropriate use.
Sick Leave Policy. (a) The Employer pays an employee his/her full salary for absence due to illness not exceeding 30 calendar days. The 30 calendar-day period is accumulative to the extent that if an employee is absent, returns before 30 calendar days, and then, within 14 calendar days, is absent again for same or a related illness, this counts as one 30 calendar-day elimination period.
(b) Employees absent more than 30 calendar days due to accident or illness, receive benefits from the Short-Term Indemnity Plan beginning on the 31st day of illness and continuing to a maximum of 26 weeks. Thereafter, benefits are paid under the Long-Term Disability Plan. This income replaces the employee's regular salary. Premiums are paid by the Employer and benefits are taxable. Participation in the Plan is compulsory.
(c) Coverage is by means of a policy issued by the insurance company and benefits will be paid in accordance with the schedule of benefits listed in the carrier's Plan and are subject to the limitations specified in the Plan including eligibility requirements.
(d) Where an employee is absent from work due to an injury which involves third party liability, (i.e., ICBC), the employee must repay the Employer an amount equivalent to the sick pay received from the Employer and/or the short-term or long-term disability benefits received from the insurance carrier upon receipt of the accident settlement provided that the settlement of claim includes wage loss benefits.
Sick Leave Policy. Xxxx leave is a paid leave. Sick leave shall be allowed in case of an employee’s bona fide illness or injury, or for an employee’s doctor/xxxxx appointments. Use of sick leave shall be approved by the employee's supervisor. Employees shall whenever possible make appointments for medical, dental, and other health and wellness similar purposes on Saturdays or other non- work time. In addition to the foregoing, sick leave may be used as family sick leave to care for an ill or injured family member or to take a family member to a doctor appointment. A “family member” is defined as a child, parent, spouse, registered domestic partner, child of a registered domestic partner, grandparent, grandchild, or sibling. Up to half (1/2) of an employee’s annual sick leave accruals per calendar year may be used as family sick leave. A certificate from an attending physician stating the expected duration of the family member's illness may be required. Authorization to use additional sick leave for family illness beyond the maximums identified above may be granted by the City Manager or designee when, in the City Manager’s or designee’s judgment, circumstances warrant the same. Employees may use not more than four (4) hours of sick leave for the purpose of consulting with a physician concerning a serious illness or injury of a member of the employee's immediate family. Sick leave may also be taken for specified purposes by employees who are the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. No sick leave accruals will be credited in advance. No sick leave will be earned while on an unpaid leave. If sick leave is used for purposes that qualify under a state or federal leave law, such as Family Medical Leave Act/California Family Rights or Pregnancy Disability Leave, then any sick leave used will count towards the state or federal leave entitlement.
