Sick Leave Sample Clauses

Sick Leave. 18.1 In applying the provisions of this clause the parties note: (a) On appointment to a DHB, a fulltime employee shall be entitled to ten (10) working days leave for sick or domestic purposes during the first twelve months of employment, and up to an additional ten (10) working days for each subsequent twelve month period. The entitlement shall be pro-rated for part time employees except that a part time employee shall receive no fewer than five (5) working days sick leave for the first twelve months of employment and a minimum of five (5) additional working days for each subsequent twelve month period. From 1 March 2012 where a part-time employee has used her/his sick leave, on a case-by-case basis, a calculation comparing actual hours versus contracted hours will be done and if additional sick leave is the result, it will be granted. Calculation is based on the anniversary of the employee’s start date. (b) Employees who move between DHBs will take their accrued sick leave balance with them. Future annual sick leave entitlement will be on the date of their anniversary when they received their last allocation of sick leave at their previous DHB. Employees who move to another DHB after a break of 3 months or more and who are not involved in midwifery-related activities, will not be able to take their sick leave balance with them and will be allocated sick leave based on 18.1 (a). (c) The employee shall be paid at relevant daily pay as prescribed in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, for the first five days in each twelve month period. Thereafter they shall be paid at the ordinary rates of pay (T1 rate only). A medical certificate may be required to support the employee’s claim. (d) In the event an employee has no entitlement left, she/he may be granted an additional 10 days per annum. In considering the grant of leave under this clause the employer shall recognise that discretionary sick and domestic leave is to ensure the provision of reasonable support to staff having to be absent from work where their entitlement is exhausted. Requests should be considered at the closet possible level of delegation to the employee and in the quickest time possible, taking into account the following: • The employee’s length of service • The employee’s attendance record • The consequence of not providing the leave • Any unusual and/or extenuating circumstances (e) Reasons for a refusal shall, when requested by the employee, be given in writing and before refusing a request, the decis...

Sick Leave. Section 1. The contract provisions governing absences and leaves of personnel are patterned after state laws and regulations. Each full-time permanent employee is entitled to accumulate one day of sick leave per month of employment. Such sick leave is to be accrued in the following manner. A. Each full-time permanent employee shall be credited with four days of sick leave at the end of the first month of employment of each contract year and shall, thereafter, be credited for one day of sick leave for each month of employment, which shall be credited to the employee at the end of the month and which shall not be used prior to the time it is earned and credited to the employee; however, each employee shall be entitled to earn no more than one day of sick leave times the number of months of employment during the year of employment. If the employee terminates his/her employment and has not accrued the four sick days available to him/her, the School Board may withhold the average daily amount for the sick days utilized but unearned by the employee. Such sick leave shall be cumulative from year to year and there shall be no limit on the number of days of sick leave an employee may accrue. B. Employees who are employed on a full-time basis during the summer session shall be eligible to accrue sick leave pursuant to the above provisions. C. Full-time employees who are eligible to accrue sick leave may use up to six days personal leave with pay per year, provided that such days shall be charged against the employee's current sick leave accrual. This leave is non-cumulative. Section 2. All unused accumulated sick leave days earned after July 1, 1954 will be restored to employees previously employed upon returning to employment in the school system, except for employees who have retired.

Sick Leave. As of July 1, 1986, all accumulated sick leave for employees was frozen and placed in a bank. Employees with banked sick time may utilize it for illness. Unused sick days will be maintained in the bank and the employee shall be paid for one-half (1/2) of those unused days at the same rate paid that employee when he terminates his employment. In those instances in which an employee terminates and receives payment for accumulated sick leave, the position vacated by the employee will remain vacant until the accumulated sick time benefits of that employee have been exhausted. Exceptions can be made in extraordinary situations by the Court. Full-time seniority employees who have completed the new-hire probationary period shall be credited with six (6) sick days on January 1 of each year. (Employees who complete probation after January 1 shall receive prorated sick leave benefits during the first year of eligibility.) Such days cannot be carried over from one year to the next. Any unused sick days shall be forfeited. Utilization of sick leave benefits is subject to the following conditions: (a) Sick pay benefits shall be paid only in cases of actual non-occupational illness or injury resulting in a disability which makes it impossible for the employee to perform regular duties or if a child or parent of the employee is ill or injured. Documentation of a physician visit for a child or parent may be required for an employee who wishes to use sick time in this manner. (b) Sick pay benefits will not be granted before they have been earned. (c) Sick pay benefits will be paid only if the employee or someone on the employee’s behalf notifies the Superintendent or designee not later than fifteen (15) minutes after the scheduled starting time on each day that the employee will be absent from work. In the event of a long-term period of absence due to such illness or injury, the employee shall be required to report only upon a weekly basis. Failure to report may be cause for denial of sick pay benefits. (d) The Court may require a physician’s certificate showing that the time off was due to actual non-occupational illness or injury and that such illness or injury was disabling to the extent that the employee could not perform regular work duties. The requirement of a physician’s certificate may be imposed at any time. (e) In the event an employee receives sick pay benefits and it is subsequently established that the employee was not ill or disabled or has otherwise misused...

Sick Leave. Sick leave is provided for absences caused by actual non-work related illnesses or injuries, necessary medical, dental or optical appointments or treatments, or confinement due to quarantine as determined by an authorized medical authority. Sick leave is pro-rated throughout the calendar year and is earned on the 15th of the month on a calendar year basis. An employee must be marked with a positive payroll marking at least one day in the payroll period which includes the 15th of the month in order to earn sick leave for that month. All department employees shall earn sick leave at the rate of 1.25 sick days per month for a total of fifteen (15) days per calendar year, with unlimited accrual. A member at the time of retirement shall receive membership service for unused sick leave in accordance with the formula that twenty-two (22) days of unused sick leave are equal to one (1) Month of membership service. One (1) additional month of membership service shall be granted if fractional days totaling eleven (11) or more result from the application of this formula. If the employee leaves the service of the Department having used more sick leave than the employee actually would have accrued, the value of such excess sick leave shall be reimbursed to the County. An employee placed on Excessive Absenteeism Notice shall provide his/her supervisor with a written physician's excuse from work for any sick leave used for the next six- month period. Advanced unearned sick leave may be granted by the Office of Human Resources under recommendation from the Chief of Police. The recommendation must be accompanied by a written statement from the employee's physician. An additional physician statement may be required during the period of absence. Unearned sick leave can be advanced only after the employee has exhausted all accrued sick leave and available leave days. This does not include the 104 leave days necessary for "weekend leave" for sworn personnel. Unearned sick leave may be extended to a maximum of 30 work days, generally. In unusual circumstances, the Administrative Officer may extend beyond the 30 day limit. Unearned sick leave will be paid back with regularly earned sick leave after the employee returns to work or as stated in Section 9.11: Leave Donation of this Memorandum of Understanding. No sick leave will be accrued until the advanced sick leave is paid back. Unearned sick leave is subject to review by the Personnel Salary and Advisory Board.
