Extended Illness Bank. Employees who were hired prior to January 15, 1984 and who have hours remaining in their extended illness bank may access those hours in accordance with the Employer’s policy. Hours do not accrue in these extended illness banks.
Extended Illness Bank. (EIB). Employees shall accrue forty-eight (48) hours per year (prorated for part-time employees) into the Extended Illness Bank (EIB) for use in the event of extended illness. The accrual shall be at the rate of 1.85 hours per pay period or .023 hours per hour worked. The maximum accumulation to the EIB bank shall be five hundred (500) hours. Employees who reach the five hundred (500) hour cap will not accrue additional EIB hours until their accrual drops below five hundred (500) hours. Employees with existing (as of the date of contract ratification) accrued EIB hours in excess of five hundred (500) hours will retain and utilize those hours first and will not accrue additional hours until their accrual is below five hundred (500) hours. EIB hours may be used in the event of an illness lasting longer than sixteen (16) consecutive scheduled work hours (prorated for part-time employees). The first sixteen (16) consecutive hours of scheduled work time (prorated for part-time employees) missed due to an illness shall be deducted from the employee’s PTO account. As an example of pro- ration, an employee assigned a 0.5 FTE may access EIB after the first eight (8) consecutive hours of scheduled work are missed due to an illness. (0.5 FTE x 16 work hours = 8 hours.) Employees will use sixteen (16) consecutive hours of PTO (pro-rated for FTE) for each occurrence of illness or certified health condition for the employee or the employee’s qualified family member before using EIB hours. For example: An employee has been certified as having asthma. As a result, the employee is absent for three (3) eight (8) hour days due to asthma. PTO is used for the first two (2) eight (8) hour days and EIB is used for the third (3rd) eight (8)-hour day. Two (2) weeks later, the employee has another asthma attack or a different illness or qualifying family illness that requires an absence of another three (3) days. Because this is a different occurrence, the employee will use another sixteen (16) consecutive PTO hours, and available EIB hours will be used beginning on the third (3rd) day. There are five (5) exceptions for which EIB hours may be used for the first day of absence due to illness:
Extended Illness Bank. Sick leave hours accrued prior to July 1, 1984 will constitute an “Extended Illness Bank” for each employee. The Extended Illness Bank is separate from and is not to be used as PTO.
Extended Illness Bank. An Extended Illness Bank will not accrue additional hours and is administered as follows:
Extended Illness Bank. Section 15.1.
Extended Illness Bank. The existing Extended Illness Bank shall be maintained for current participants. It will not accrue additional hours. Extended illness pay is available following completion of thirty-two (32) consecutive scheduled hours of absence due to illness or injury, upon the first day of hospitalization or upon the day of any outpatient procedure that requires at least two (2) days off from work.
Extended Illness Bank. (EIB) Leave
Extended Illness Bank. EIB hours may be used for days off work due to illness or injury, after the employee has been off the shorter of two (2) work days scheduled or sixteen (16) hours. If an employee is hospitalized as an in-patient during an illness or injury, or has outpatient surgery requiring three (3) or more days of recovery before returning to work, EIB may be used from the first day of absence. In the case of catastrophic illness, such as cancer, which requires follow-up treatment, EIB may be used to cover such treatment. In the event of an occupational illness or injury, PTO and/or EIB (on the third consecutive work day) may be used at the employee's request, for lost work time not covered by Workers'
Extended Illness Bank. Any accrued EIB hours may be used for days off work due to illness or injury, after the employee has been off the shorter of two (2) workdays scheduled or sixteen (16)
Extended Illness Bank. The Extended Illness Bank (EIB) program provides all eligible nurses with compensation for illness and/or injury, as required by this Agreement and subject to related Employer policies.
