To be eligible to participate in the employee-funded sick leave bank for the 2009-10 academic year, an employee must donate one day of accumulated sick leave and meet all other criteria in the Sick Leave policy.  Please be aware the policies for licensed and classified employees are slightly different this year and have different requirements for eligibility.  Copies of both policies were provided to all school administrators and department directors.

On July 1, one day of sick leave was deducted from each eligible employee for the employee-funded sick leave bank.  Should an employee wish to opt out of the employee-funded sick leave bank, he/she must complete and return the employee-funded sick leave bank “Opt Out Form” before Sept. 1.  Forms received after Sept. 1 will not be accepted.   The sick leave deducted on July 1, will be returned to each employee who submitted an “Opt Out Form.” Employees who “opt out” of the employee-funded sick leave bank will be ineligible to receive sick bank benefits for the duration of the 2009-10 school year.

For more information regarding the sick bank opt out process, please contact your immediate supervisor. ★
