Sick leave may be accumulated without limit. Sick leave is earned during leave with pay.
Sick leave is credited at the end of the month it is earned.
Accumulated sick leave may be used for temporary disability related to pregnancy, childbirth, and recovery therefrom. A librarian may be required to submit satisfactory proof of illness or disability. Sick leave shall not be used prior to the time it is credited nor shall sick leave be used beyond a predetermined separation date. Regularly scheduled days off and University administrative holidays shall not be charged against sick leave. While receiving injury or health compensation under the Worker's Compensation Act, an absent librarian may also receive sick leave benefits provided the total of the sick leave pay and worker's compensation does not exceed the employee's regular salary for the period.
