Sick Leave for Support Staff

Support staff in regular or term positions working at least half-time earn basic sick leave. Sick leave may be used for personal illness or the care of an immediate family member. Immediate family members for purposes of sick leave are defined in accordance with the guidelines established by the Family Medical Leave Act: spouse, children, parents. Sick leave for routine or well-care appointments will apply to the employee only.

Sick leave is earned at a rate of one day per month and can be accumulated up to a maximum of 80 days. Sick leave is not paid out at time of separation. Sick leave is credited in the first pay period of the month for work in the prior month. Current available sick leave is reported on the employee's pay statement. For absences longer than 10 days, see Short-Term Disability Leave of Absence Policy.
