Payment is made at the rate of 25 percent and all hours compensated are then deducted from the employee's sick leave balance. The 1998 year-end balance is 576 hours. In January 1999, the employee requests payment for the unused time and is paid for 96 hours at 25 percent of the regular hourly rate. The 96 hours are then subtracted from the permanent sick leave record, reducing the balance to 480 hours as of Dec. 31, 1998.
Participants are responsible for completing and submitting the forms.
Payment may be expected to be issued no later than the second paycheck in February. Questions pertaining to the attendance incentive program should be directed to your department's area personnel office.
