Regular employees are eligible to earn paid sick leave beginning with the first day of work. Temporary employees are ineligible for sick leave benefits. The purpose of paid sick leave is to assist you when you are ill, not to allow for extra time off for other reasons. The college expects you to utilize the sick leave privilege only for its intended purpose. However, you should only do this if it is absolutely necessary.
Sick leave is credited after it is earned.
