Procedures for the administration of the sick leave bank, including donation of hours or the transferring of hours will be the responsibility of Human Resources. An employee may be awarded sick leave bank hours only once per fiscal year for each catastrophic illness or injury. An employee does not have to donate hours to the pool in order to be eligible to use the pool, nor is the employee required to pay back hours taken from the pool. An eligible employee may draw sick hours in the event that they suffer a catastrophic injury or illness and have exhausted all of their available accrued leave. The hours of sick leave bank that may be available for pay purposes will vary dependent upon and according to guidelines established by Human Resources.
Immediate family is defined as the eligible employee s parents, spouse or children.
