Accrual and Usage
Eligible employees accrue one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked. You will begin accruing sick leave on May 1, 2025, or on your first day of work, whichever is later. If you are classified as exempt, you are presumed to work 40 hours per week, unless your normal workweek is less than 40 hours, in which case sick leave accrues based on your normal workweek. For purposes of this policy, the leave year is any consecutive 12-month period of a calendar year. You may use sick leave as it is accrued, and you may only use 40 hours per leave year. Sick leave may be used in one hour increments. You may carry over up to 80 hours of unused sick leave to the next leave year; however, you may only use 40 hours of sick leave per leave year.
Compensation
You will be compensated for sick leave at the same hourly rate and with the same benefits, including healthcare benefits, that you normally earn or the applicable state minimum wage, whichever is greater.
Notice
If the need for leave is foreseeable, you must make a good faith effort to provide notice of the need for leave in advance and make a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so that it does not unduly disrupt Company operations. If unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as practical. You will not be required to search for or secure a replacement worker as a condition for using sick leave. When possible, notice should include the expected duration of the absence.
Documentation
If leave is being used for three or more consecutive workdays, the Company may require you to provide reasonable documentation establishing that leave is for a qualifying reason. Documentation signed by a healthcare professional indicating that sick leave is necessary will be considered reasonable documentation.
