EXHIBIT A. <br /> POLICY: SICK LEAVE SECTION: 3.35 <br /> Regular full-time and part-time employees averaging morc 20 hours or more per week <br /> are eligible to receive sick leave with pay after completion of their initial six-month <br /> probationary period. Although new probationary employees are not entitled to use paid <br /> sick leave, sick leave hours begin accruing on the first day of employment. Promotional <br /> probationary employees may make use of sick leave. However, if the sick leave exceeds <br /> a total of five working days, the probationary period shall automatically be extended for <br /> an equivalent period of time. <br /> A. ACCRUAL <br /> Sick leave accrues at the rate of 8 hours per month unless otherwise established <br /> by a collective bargaining agreement. Regular part-time employees eligible for <br /> paid leave earn it on a pro-rated basis. Sick leave may be accumulated to a <br /> maximum of 120 days. While there are no limits imposed upon the actual accrual <br /> of sick leave, the number of hours that can be (a) converted annually and (b) <br /> contributed via separation into an employee's Retirement Health Savings Plan <br /> (RHSP) shall be capped according to a formula articulated in Section 3.45. <br /> B. BANK-ED-SICK-LEAVE <br /> Employees-who have accumulated the maximum 120 days sick leave shall be <br /> permitted to accrue an additional "bank" of sick leave at the rate of one day per <br /> month. Additional Banked Sick Leave will not be counted in the calculation of <br /> severance benefits. <br /> G USE <br /> Sick leave should not be considered a privilege or vested right that may be used <br /> at an employee's discretion but shall be considered as a type of insurance used <br /> for the case of an illness, disability of the employee, or to receive dental or medical <br /> care when approved by the employee's Supervisor. <br />
