Benefits » Time Off » Sick Leave
Full-time employees hired before December 1, 1992, accrue sick leave at the rate of 12 hours per month. Those hired after December 1, 1992, accrue sick leave at the rate of 8 hours per month. Sick leave is not a part of wages or salary, and the unused balance is not paid on termination. Sick leave cannot be used before it has been accrued and cannot be advanced. Sick leave may not be used in the place of vacation; however, vacation may be substituted for sick leave. For more information on sick leave, please refer to P 730-3 (pdf).
