37-1. Sick Days Granted On and After July 1, 2012
On July 1, 2012, and each July 1 thereafter, the BOARD shall grant eligible employees one sick day per month, up to twelve sick days per year, based on their anticipated active employment for the next school year. Sick days granted on and after July 1, 2012 that are unused at the end of the Fiscal Year will not be carried over to the next Fiscal Year, except as provided in Article 37-3. The BOARD shall not pay out to any employee the value or any part of the value of any sick days granted on and after July 1, 2012 that are unused at the time the employee separates from employment for any reason.
37-1.1. Sick Day Pay.
The pay for one sick day shall be calculated by multiplying the number of hours the employee is assigned per day by their regular hourly rate of pay.
37-1.2. New Employee Eligibility.
New employees are not eligible for sick days during the first thirty (30) calendar days of their employment. For new employees hired after the start of the fiscal year, a prorated number of sick days will be granted in an employee’s sick day bank, following a thirty (30) calendar day waiting period that begins on that date of hire.
37-1.3. Sick Day Use.
Employees may use sick days for personal or family illness, personal or family medical appointments, and/or childcare or family care emergencies consistent with the Board’s Paid Time Off Policy.
