 Sick Leave Pool
Use of the Sick Leave Pool: Use of Sick Leave Pool credits is limited to the employee's personal illness, accident, or injury. Employees must have been absent from scheduled work days for a minimum of 20 duty days and must have exhausted all accrued sick leave and vacation leave before being eligible to apply for Sick Leave Pool credits. If an employee returns to work from an approved Long Term Disability absence, but is unable to complete one full year due to a reoccurrence of the disability, the twenty (20) duty day minimum may be reduced. An employee may apply for a maximum of 20 days credit at any one time. A maximum of forty (40) days may be requested by an individual employee for each separate disability. In no event shall Sick Leave Pool credits be provided for absences beyond the 90th calendar day of disability.
Participating employees may resign from the Pool at any time. Upon resignation from the Pool or from the College, all contributions to the Pool and rights to receive leave credits from the Pool shall be forfeited. Alleged abuse of the Pool shall be investigated and on a finding of wrongdoing, the employee shall repay all of the sick leave credits wrongfully drawn from the Pool. Such abuse shall also subject the employee to appropriate disciplinary action.
Applications to join the Sick Leave Pool and application for the use of sick leave pool credits shall be made to Human Resources.
