Sick Bank Clause Samples
A Sick Bank clause establishes a pooled reserve of sick leave days that employees can draw from when their own accrued sick leave is exhausted. Typically, employees voluntarily contribute a set number of their own sick days to the bank, and those facing extended illness or medical emergencies may apply to use days from the pool, subject to approval by a committee or administrator. This clause provides a safety net for employees facing serious health issues, helping to prevent loss of income during prolonged absences and promoting a supportive workplace environment.
