The Sick Leave Bank (SLB) was created to help employees who have exhausted all personal accrued leave have an opportunity to protect their income due to a personal illness or injury. Members may receive up to 90 days of sick leave bank hours per year.
To be eligible to enroll in this benefit, employees must:
- Be classified as regular, full-time, or part-time and be in an active pay status, which allows accrual of sick leave.
- Have a balance of at least 48 sick leave hours when leave is assessed.
- Agree to a one-time assessment (donation) of 24 hours of sick leave for full-time employees.
- Part-time employee assessments will be pro-rated based on the percentage of effort.
The following illnesses and injuries are ineligible for a grant from the sick leave bank:
- Caring for a spouse, child, parent, or any other individual who is not the employee
- Elective surgeries
- Normal pregnancy and childbirth
- Intermittent medical leave
- Conditions for which an employee is receiving:
- Disability benefits
- Retirement benefits
- Worker’s Compensation benefits
SLB enrollment ends June 30. Employees must have at least six (6) days of sick leave by July 1. Current members do not need to re-enroll.
