Sick Leave Bank Enrollment. The employee may enroll in the Sick Leave Bank by giving written notice to the Business Office to be received by September 15 of the school year or within 30 calendar days after entry on duty, whichever is later. The effective date of enrollment shall be the date upon which the first day of accrued sick leave is contributed by the employee as provided in Section 1503.1. Notwithstanding, the employee who is a member of the Bank as of the ratification date of the Agreement shall be enrolled as of the effective date of the Agreement without the contribution of a day of sick leave.
Sick Leave Bank Enrollment. The enrollment period shall be from the first day of school through September 30 of each year. The certified employee must donate one (1) day of personal sick leave to the Bank during an enrollment period to become a member and, when necessary, members must donate one (1) day if the Sick Leave Bank falls below sixty (60) percent of maximum capacity. During the first year of membership only, a certified employee will not be required to donate one (1) day if the Sick Leave Bank falls below sixty (60) percent of maximum capacity to continue membership. When a member draws from the Sick Leave Bank, they will be required to donate one (1) day of accumulated sick leave the following year to continue membership. Days donated to the Sick Leave Bank shall be non-returnable to the donor as accumulated personal sick leave in the event of loss of Bank membership or separation or transfer from the District.
