The various bargaining agreements and Civil Service Rules provide for the accrual and utilization of paid sick time for State employees. The paid sick time accrual rate for full-time employees , regardless of length of service, is 8 hours for each completed full month of service. For example, a 20-hour employee would accrue sick time at 4 hours per month.
Intermittent employees are unique.
Intermittent employees do not accrue any paid sick time until the completion of 1,040 hours of actual work. After completing 1,040 hours of actual work, intermittent employees begin accruing sick time for each 173 hours of actual work. Because of the inherent nature of intermittent work, intermittent employees do not have an established accrual date or established hours from which a sick leave accrual rate can be derived. The only limitation to the hours an intermittent employee can work is the total annual authorized hours for the position. Non-status, acting capacity employment or project employment is not considered state service for purposes of calculating service dates or accrual rates.
