If you are in a benefits eligible position, you will accrue time equal to ten days of paid sick leave annually. If you work less full time; sick time is prorated according to number of hours worked. Upon accrual, time is available as needed. Overtime is not included when computing sick time earned or eligibility for sick time. Sick leave continues to accrue during any absence when you are receiving full pay from the College. Employees may accumulate unused sick time up to a maximum of 120 days. Unused sick time will not be compensated upon termination of employment.
Sick leave benefits are intended to cover absences of employees brought about by personal illness or illness of an immediate family member as defined in the Family Medical Leave Act. If you are out for three days or more, the College reserves the right to require evidence of illness by competent medical authority for sick days claimed.
When a holiday is observed by the College during an approved sick leave, it will be charged to the holiday.
