Sick Leave Bank Contract Language
Once per school year each member of the bargaining unit may voluntarily transfer one (1) day of accumulated sick leave to a Sick Leave Bank.
Any bargaining unit member who contributes to the Sick Leave Bank, who exhausts his/her accumulated sick leave, and who is absent for more than three (3) consecutive work days with his/her own illness or disability may apply for the use of days from this Sick Leave Bank. Use of these days must be during the year the bargaining unit member contributes to the bank.
Such request will be forwarded to the president of the Association who will approve or deny the request and then forward the request to the administration for approval. Such request must be accompanied by a doctor's verification. If the request for use of days from the Sick Leave Bank is approved, the day(s) granted will be applied retroactively to include the three (3) days preceding the request.
No member of the bargaining unit will be allowed to use more than thirty (30) days from the Sick Leave Bank in any one (1) year.
If there are any unused days in this Sick Leave Bank at the end of the school year, they will be carried over into the next school year.
