Accrual and Usage
Eligible employees accrue one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked, beginning on their first day of employment. You may use sick leave as it accrues. You may use up to a maximum of 56 hours of sick leave in a leave year. For purposes of this policy, the leave year is calendar year. The minimum increment of sick leave that you may take at one time is four hours. Unused sick leave will carry over to the following leave year; however, you may still only use 56 hours of sick leave in a leave year. Please reference CREA’s PTO plocy for more information.
Compensation
You will be paid at your regular rate of pay or the applicable minimum wage, whichever is greater.
Notice
If the need for leave is foreseeable, you must provide reasonable notice of your need for leave. If unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as practical. If known, notice should include the expected length of the absence.
Documentation
If you use sick leave for three or more consecutive days, you may be required to provide reasonable documentation confirming your eligibility for leave. Reasonable documentation is limited to the following: A statement from a licensed medical provider attesting to your need for sick leave, the amount of leave needed, and the date you may return to work; or A statement from you attesting to your eligibility for leave. The statement does not need to explain the nature of the illness or details related to the domestic violence, family offense, sexual offense, stalking, or human trafficking that necessitates the use of leave.
Confidentiality
Details surrounding your request for leave will be kept confidential, except as required by federal or state law or as necessary to protect your safety in the workplace.
Recordkeeping
You may request (verbally or in writing) a summary of the amounts of sick leave you have accrued and used in the current calendar year and/or any previous calendar year. This information will be provided within three business days.
