Use of Sick Leave definition

A teacher may use sick leave benefits according to Minnesota Statutes 181.9413 for absences due to illness or injury to the teacher’s adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent, or stepparent, on the same terms the teacher is able to use sick leave benefits for the teacher’s own illness or injury.

Use of Sick Leave. A unit member must report the absence and submit the necessary paperwork to the payroll office within two (2) business days of the return from sick leave. A unit member may use the sick leave available to them for the semester in which the absence occurs prior to the actual accrual of that sick leave. If a unit member fails to return to their assignment, and is paid for any unaccrued sick leave, the District will deduct from the employee’s final salary payment the value of the unaccrued sick leave from the unit member’s final paycheck for the semester. In the event that the final paycheck is insufficient, or the deduction authorized by this provision is not made, the unit member will promptly reimburse the District for used, unaccrued sick leave within fifteen (15) business days of any such request. If a unit member has an amount payable from a previous term when they are hired for a subsequent term, the amount payable from that previous term will be deducted from the first paycheck of the subsequent term. If a unit member has an amount payable from the fall term, repayment must be made by a personal check from the employee and IRS regulations may require that a corrected W-2 be issued.
