The Sick Leave Bank (SLB) is an opportunity for eligible employees to protect their income. The SLB may provide paid leave to bank members who have exhausted all of their own paid leave due to a personal illness or injury.
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’s assessments will be pro-rated based on the percentage of effort.
- Current members do not need to reenroll.
SLB enrollment ends June 30th. Employees must have a minimum balance of 6 days of sick leave by July 1st.
