File:  GBGG - Staff Sick Leave

The Board recognizes that there may be times when an employee is unable to fulfill the duties of his/her position due to illness. Therefore, paid sick leave is provided for full time employees in accordance with this policy.

Paid sick leave may be accumulated without limit at the rate of 13 days per year. Sick leave may be taken for personal illness, personal medical appointments or for the necessary care and attendance of a member of the employee's immediate family.

For sick leave purposes, the term "immediate family" shall be defined as spouse, partner in a civil union, children and parents. Exceptions may be made by the superintendent.

An employee who is eligible for retirement in accordance with the Public Employees Retirement Association shall be paid for accrued sick leave not taken based upon the licensed staff substitute pay.

Evidence of illness may be required for approval of sick leave pay.

Sick leave shall not apply during vacation leave, paid holidays or leaves of absence.
