Accrual and Usage
Eligible employees accrue one hour for every 30 hours worked up to a maximum accrual of 40 hours in a leave year. New employees begin accruing sick leave on their first day of employment. For purposes of this policy, the leave year is any consecutive 12-month period in a calendar year. If you are classified as exempt, you are presumed to work 40 hours per week, unless you are normally scheduled to work fewer than 40 hours, in which case sick leave accrues based on your normal schedule. You may begin using sick leave after you have worked for the Company for 120 days. You may carry over up to 40 hours of unused accrued sick leave to the following leave year; however, you may only use 40 hours of sick leave in any given leave year.
Compensation
You will be compensated for sick leave at your regular rate of pay.
Notice
If the need for leave is foreseeable, you must provide seven days' advance notice and make reasonable efforts to schedule the leave so that it does not unduly disrupt Company operations. If unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as practical. If known, notice should include the expected length of the absence.
