An employee who withdraws sick leave from the bank will not be required to pay back those days except as a regular contributing member to the bank. The sick bank committee shall be the benefits committee. The sick bank committee will consider granting leave based upon a doctor’s verification of illness or injury. The sick bank committee may, in their discretion, ask a member requesting and/or receiving benefits to provide the committee with verification from a physician on the District’s approved health plan, as to proof of catastrophic illness or disability. The committee will determine that the employee is in a catastrophic situation and whether the individual has committed any violations of the sick leave policy. A majority vote of the members of the Sick Bank committee is necessary to approve an application for benefits. All applicable sections will be pro-rated for part-time employees. Should it be determined that a member is drawing sick bank days fraudulently, he/she shall be required to repay all fraudulently obtained funds and membership from the sick bank shall be terminated. After a period of three (3) years, the committee may approve readmission to the sick bank for an employee who obtained days from the sick bank fraudulently. Employees applying for days from the sick bank due to a work-related injury must complete a Worker’s Compensation application and will not be able to draw days from the sick bank. Employees receiving benefits must be under the continual care of a physician and/or psychiatrist.

It is the professional responsibility of every contracted employee to use leave only for the purpose intended. Any proven misuse thereof would be considered unethical, unprofessional, in violation of the employee’s contract and would constitute reason for deduction in pay at the daily rate of earnings for each of the days involved. Misuse could also constitute reason for and possible adverse employment action on the first or any succeeding violations. The employee shall (as the Board may require) furnish evidence for the necessity of being absent.
