Failure to call in and report your absence within one hour of your reporting time may be considered as having quit your job. An employee working 1000 hours or more in a regular salary position accrues sick leave at the rate of one day for each complete month of service, up to a maximum of 120 days. Employees working less than full-time but more than 1000 hours per year in a regular salary position accrue sick leave in the same proportion as time worked. When an employee is laid off due to budgetary reasons or curtailment of activities and is reinstated within six months, accrued sick leave will be restored to their credit. Sick leave may not be accumulated during a period of leave without pay when such leave totals ten or more days within a calendar month.
Sick leave is granted based on workdays rather than calendar days.
Sick leave cannot be taken for less than fifteen minutes. Non-workdays, such as weekends and holidays falling within a period of sick leave is not charged as sick leave. Leave without pay. Employees who are absent from work due to a temporary occupational injury or illness who are entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits may, upon proper application, use their accrued sick leave as a supplement to Workers' Compensation to receive weekly benefits from both sources equal to, but not more than, their normal weekly pay at the time of the injury or onset of illness. Employees receiving Workers' Compensation benefits for a permanent disability are eligible for full pay from both sources.
