Sick Leave Sample Clauses
The Sick Leave clause establishes an employee's right to take time off from work due to illness or injury. Typically, it outlines the amount of paid or unpaid leave available, the process for notifying the employer, and any documentation required, such as a doctor's note for extended absences. This clause ensures that employees can recover from health issues without fear of losing their job or income, thereby promoting workplace well-being and providing clear guidelines for both employers and employees regarding absences due to sickness.

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.

The employee shall state the nature of the illness and expected period of absence. This procedure shall be followed for each day the employee is unable to work, unless prior approval is given by the Employer.

C. If and whenever sick leave may appear to be abused, or where an employee consistently uses sick leave as it is accrued, the Employer shall have the right in all cases to require the employee to furnish a doctor's certificate verifying the inability of the employee to perform the duties as required. Abuse of sick leave privileges shall constitute grounds for disciplinary action and dismissal.
▇. ▇▇▇▇ leave will be charged by actual hours used.
E. No employee shall be entitled to paid sick leave in excess of the amount of such leave accumulated to the employee's credit. Sick leave shall not be taken in advance of having been earned, except as may be granted under subsection L of this section.
