Common use of Sick Credit Bank Clause in Contracts

Sick Credit Bank. (a) Sick leave is the granting of time off with pay for absences from regularly scheduled hours due to legitimate illness. Each full-time employee in the active employ of the Employer who has completed the probationary period shall receive a credit of ten (10) non-cumulative sick day credits on 1 January of each year. Such sick leave days are to be used for casual absences due to sickness or for the elimination period for Short Term Disability benefits. Employees, upon completing their probationary period, will have the ten days reduced by pro-rating and rounding to the nearest full day for the remaining balance of the year. For example, if the probationary period is completed on July 31st, sick leave entitlement for the balance of the year would be 5/12 of 10 or 4 days. Employees will be allowed to use part or all of their sick day credits in order to engage in personal preventative medical health and dental care or in cases of immediate family illness or family preventative medical health and dental care. Eligible employees may use up to three (3) of these sick day credits for personal purposes, and such requests will be considered approved except where there is insufficient coverage in the work location.
