Common use of Extended Illness Bank Clause in Contracts

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:
