Dependent Illness Sample Clauses
The Dependent Illness clause defines the terms under which benefits or coverage are provided if a dependent of the insured individual becomes ill. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility criteria for dependents, such as spouses or children, and specifies the types of illnesses or conditions that are covered. For example, it may detail whether both acute and chronic illnesses are included, and what documentation is required to make a claim. The core function of this clause is to clarify the extent of protection offered to dependents, ensuring that policyholders understand when and how their family members are covered in the event of illness.
Dependent Illness. Sick leave may be used for illness of members of the employee's immediate family. Immediate family is defined as spouse, parent, children (including stepchildren). In addition, it includes any relative living in the employee's home.
Dependent Illness. In the case of illness of a dependent child, spouse or parent under the care of a permanent employee, when no one at the employee's home can provide for the needs of the ill dependent, an employee after notifying their manager, shall be entitled to use a maximum of five (5) accumulated sick leave days per annum to care for their dependent child, spouse or parent and/or to make alternate arrangements for care. Employees who have sick time hours accrued from years prior to the existing year may access that accrual for an additional five (5) days per annum for dependent illness provided there is a portion of the accrued sick time reserved for personal use. The accrued sick time that must be reserved for personal use is one (1) day per month of employment to a maximum of seventy- five (75) days. Notwithstanding this clause or the Memorandum of Agreement re: Sick Leave Bank Criteria, an employee’s entitlement for Dependent Illness shall not exceed fifteen (15) days in any calendar year. The parties agree that should this clause affect the Employment Insurance Premium Reduction, they will meet to discuss how to correct this.
