Common use of The Sick Leave Bank Clause in Contracts

The Sick Leave Bank. A. Each employee of the district may participate in the sick leave bank. To participate, you must contribute two of your sick leave days after accepting employment or during the designated open enrollment period that will run the first 30 calendar days of each school year. New employees will receive an application form to join the sick leave bank from the District office at the time of employment. The contributed sick leave days shall form a fund, the size of which will be determined by the Sick Leave Bank Committee, (not to exceed 300 days) that will be available to all eligible participating employees for the purpose of alleviating the hardship caused by absence from work necessitated by a serious personal illness or accident extending beyond the employee’s accumulated sick leave. The Sick Leave Bank Committee shall have the authority to establish such guidelines as it deems necessary to implement this program. Guidelines shall have the approval of the Filer Education Association’s (FEA) executive board. If bank falls below 50 days, each member will be assessed one additional day to maintain membership. The Committee has the authority to return sick leave days to original contributors to reduce surplus days.
