Sick leave is paid at the employee's regular rate of pay.
Hours worked in excess of the employee's regular schedule are not counted as hours worked for purposes of computing sick leave credit. Sick leave is credited at the end of the month it is earned except that an employee terminating service who is eligible for sick leave shall not earn sick leave after the last day actually at work. An employee may be required to submit to the University satisfactory proof of personal or family illness or disability, to receive an excused absence from work and sick leave pay. Sick leave shall not be used prior to the time it is accrued. Sick leave shall not be used beyond a predetermined date of separation or predetermined date beginning a leave of absence without pay, except that a pregnant employee on approved leave without pay on the date certified by her doctor as the date on which she is no longer able to work, or the date of delivery, whichever is earlier, can use sick leave beginning with that day and continuing through the period that she is physically unable to perform the normal duties of her job.
