Handbook Sick Leave Sick leave is used by employees when they are unable to work because of illness or injury. Employees are granted the annual accumulation of sick time at the beginning of their work year. If an employee does not finish the school year, the sick leave balance is adjusted appropriately. In some cases this may result in a deduction from the employee's final paycheck. If the time loss extends beyond five consecutive days, the employee's supervisor may require a physician's release before the employee returns to work.
Sick time is recorded to the nearest quarter hour on all TARs.
New employees whose employment was in another school district in Oregon may transfer in their balance of sick leave. The accumulation shall not exceed that carried by the most recent employing district. Contact the Fiscal office for specific information. Sick leave is also available to care for members of the employee's immediate family, as defined by the individual employee's appropriate collective bargaining agreement or district board policy. Time off for employee's or immediate family member's preventative medical or dental appointments may also be taken as Sick Leave.
