EXHIBIT B. <br /> <br /> <br />Regular full-time and part-time employees averaging more 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 /> <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 /> <br />B. BANKED 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 /> <br />C. 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 /> <br /> <br />POLICY: SICK LEAVE SECTION: 3.35 <br />EXHIBIT A.
