§ 3107. In  cities  having  a  population  of  one  million  or  more,   employees of the board of education who are members of the New York city   teachers' retirement system shall be granted sick leave due to  personal   illness.  Such sick leave shall be on the basis of at least ten days for   each  year  of  service,  cumulative  to  a maximum of two hundred days.   Members shall upon application be granted a retirement leave of  absence   with  full  pay  consisting of one-half of their accumulated unused sick   leave, up to a maximum of one school term or the  equivalent  number  of   school days.Members  of  the  New York city teachers' retirement system who are in   the employ of the board of higher education and members of the permanent   instructional staff of the board of higher education who are members  of   any  other  retirement  system shall be eligible for retirement leave on   the same basis as employees of the board of education, except that  such   members  shall  be  granted sick leave due to personal illness of twenty   days for each year of service cumulative to a  maximum  of  one  hundred   sixty  days.  Such members shall upon application to the board of higher   education be granted a retirement leave  with  full  pay  consisting  of   one-half  of their accumulated unused sick leave, up to a maximum of one   semester or the equivalent number of school days.Members of any retirement system who  are  members  of  the  permanent   instructional  staff  of  any  community college in the city of New York   shall upon application be granted a retirement  leave  of  absence  with   full  pay consisting of one-half of their accumulated unused sick leave,   up to a maximum of one semester or the equivalent number of school days.Days when school is not  in  session  shall  not  be  counted  in  the   calculation of such retirement leaves. When a vacation period intervenes   between  the end of a retirement leave and the member's retirement date,   such vacation period shall be deemed a period of active service for  all   purposes including compensation.A retirement leave of absence shall be cancelled when a member on such   leave  files  an  application  for  immediate  retirement  or  files  an   application for reinstatement to active service,  in  which  event  such   member  shall be deemed to have forfeited the future right to the number   of days of retirement leave already taken. In the event that a member on   retirement leave applies for a sick leave  during  the  period  of  such   retirement  leave,  he  shall  thereupon  become  entitled  to his total   accumulated unused sick leave minus the number of school  days  actually   taken as retirement leave, provided however, that such retirement leave,   exclusive  of  sick leave, shall not exceed one school term or semester,   or the equivalent  number  of  school  days.  However,  members  of  the   instructional staff of the board of higher education or of the community   colleges of the city of New York who are entitled to retirement leave of   one semester shall not have the right to start a retirement leave during   the  course of a semester, nor may any member of the instructional staff   of the board of higher education or of the  community  colleges  of  the   city  of New York on retirement leave have the right to be reinstated to   active service during the course of a semester.The extent of such leaves shall be included in the number of years  of   allowable service for retirement purposes.The  duties  of  members  on retirement leave shall be covered in like   manner as when members are absent on sick leave.Any provision of law inconsistent with this section is  hereby  deemed   superseded.
