TRADITIONAL SICK LEAVE PROGRAM
The traditional Sick Leave program is available to employees hired before January 1, 1999 and to all new faculty. It includes a disability retirement option for classified staff and VRS faculty.
Faculty
Instructional faculty on 9-month appointments receive 15 days of sick leave per academic year.
A maximum of 90 days leave may be accrued.
Illness during the summer is not covered by accrued sick leave.
Administrative/Professional and Instructional/Research faculty on
12-month appointments accrue 20 sick leave days per fiscal year. A
maximum of 120 days leave may be carried over from one year to the next
each June 24th. One-third of sick leave may be used for family illness.
Faculty are not paid for unused sick leave at
separation.
Classified
Full-time classified staff accrue 10 hours per month.
Part-time classified staff earn a proportionate amount. Sick leave must be earned before
it is used and may not be advanced. An unlimited number of hours may be accrued and 1/3 of
the sick leave balance may be used for family illness. Classified employees with five or more
years of continuous service are paid for 25% of any unused sick leave at separation, up to a
maximum of $5000.
