Sick Leave

Sick Leave is one of your most valuable benefits. Full-time, permanent employees of the Board of Education earn sick leave at the rate of approximately 1.25 days for every calendar month worked and can accumulate a maximum of 100 days.

As you know, sick leave pays your full salary if you must be out sick. But did you realize that accumulating sick leave can have other advantages now and in retirement? Accumulating Sick Leave can reduce your cost for disability insurance. It can also mean money in your pocket at retirement.

As you accumulate sick leave days, you earn extra personal leave. Once you reach 45 days, you earn a 4th personal leave day. At the 60 day level, you earn a 5th personal leave day. So hang on to your sick leave; use it only when you have to and earn extra personal leave days by doing so.

Be sure to request personal time off in advance.

Keep up with your current sick leave balance. It is posted on your pay stub and in the online Benefits Center for quick reference.
