Accrual and Usage
Eligible employees accrue one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked or one and one-third hours for every 40 hours worked, up to a maximum of 40 hours per leave year. New employees begin accruing sick leave on their first day of employment. For purposes of this policy, the leave year is 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.
