3.0410 SICK LEAVE BANK POLICY
3.0410.01 SICK LEAVE BANK POLICY Issue Date: 9/12/96 Updated: 11/14/19
The intent of the sick leave bank is to provide a bridge of the elimination period for long-term disability and to provide an employee additional sick leave when a catastrophic illness or disability occurs that requires extended hospitalization/ treatment or home confinement of the employee. An employee expecting to be disabled longer than the elimination period for long-term disability shall file a long-term disability claim as soon as possible. Sick leave bank days shall not be used to extend the elimination period. Employees who wish to join the sick leave bank will contribute two days sick leave in their first year membership and one (1) day the second year. The bank will accumulate 1,000 days. No more days will be added to the bank until the bank is depleted to 500 days, except for those days donated by new members. If the bank is depleted to 500 days, all members will donate one (1) day per year until the bank is back to 1,000 days. New employees who wish to join the sick leave bank must do so within fifteen (15) days of their beginning date of employment. Open enrollment for any new employee will be fifteen (15) days after that individual is employed. Each employee will be requested to sign a form either accepting or rejecting membership in the sick leave bank within their first fifteen (15) working days after the beginning of the employees’ contract. Dropping of membership will not entitle the employee to previously donated days. All accrued leave (sick, personal, vacation) must be used before the school employee is eligible to receive the days from the bank. Cancellation from the bank by a member must be received in writing by the Superintendent no later than September 15. Contributions to the sick leave bank are not refundable. A request for using sick leave from the bank must be submitted on the proper form to the sick leave bank committee. Maximum withdrawal from the bank is the lesser of sixty (60) workdays per year or sixty (60) workdays per long-term disability claim, to be reviewed each fifteen (15) days. Teachers who expect to return to work, continue to provide lesson plans for a substitute, and do not need all sixty days for the elimination period, may use remaining sick bank days to supplement disability for 20% of their wages. Additional days must be requested by submitting a new application to the sick leave bank committee.
