Accrual and Usage
Eligible employees accrue one hour for every 30 hours worked up to a maximum accrual of 48 hours in a leave year. You will begin accruing sick leave on your first day of employment. For purposes of this policy, the leave year is any consecutive 12-month period 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 as it accrues. You may use a maximum of 48 hours of sick leave in a leave year. The minimum increment of sick leave you may take is may not exceed one hour. You may carry over up to 48 hours of unused accrued sick leave to the following leave year; however, the maximum amount of leave you may have in your sick leave bank at any given time is 48 hours.
Compensation
You will be compensated for sick leave at the same rate and with the same benefits, including health benefits, as you normally earn during hours worked, not including overtime, bonuses, or holiday pay. In no instance will this be less than the applicable minimum wage.
Notice
If the need for leave is foreseeable, you must make a good-faith effort to provide advance notice and make a reasonable effort to schedule leave in a manner that does not unduly disrupt the Company. If unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as practical. If known, notice should include the expected length of the absence.
Documentation
If you are absent for four or more consecutive days, you may be requested to provide reasonable documentation as soon as you are reasonably able to provide it, showing that the leave is being taken for permitted purposes.
Payment upon Termination
You will not be paid for any unused sick leave when your employment ends.
