All full time unit members get 10 days of leave per year. If all 10 days are not utilized in a year, the remaining days will be accumulated from year to year. For example, you are out sick for one day so you have nine remaining. Those nine days get added to the next school year giving you 19.
A sick day should be used when you are not feeling well enough to come to school OR you have a doctor's appointment that falls during the normal working hours.
Sick days may be taken as whole days, half days or hourly.
In this case, you would NOT use a Sick Day but instead, a PERSONAL NECESSITY day.
You have up to 10 days per school year for Personal Necessity. Personal Necessity should be used for the following reasons:
A. Death of an immediate family member
B. Death of a second degree relative not to exceed two days
C. Death of a 1st cousin not to exceed one day
D. Serious accidents involving the unit member's person or property OR the person or property of an immediate family member.
E. Illness of immediate family
F. Appearance in court
G. Adoption processing
Urgent personal business, e.g. “personal” or “family” issues requiring the unit member’s attention and not covered in subsections (a) through (g), not to exceed four (4) days per year. However, in no event may a unit member use these four (4) days of urgent personal business for vacation, recreational activities, or to participate in a work stoppage; or on any non-instructional duty day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a unit member may use urgent personal business leave for vacation or recreational activity only if:
1) The unit member must attend a wedding, anniversary milestones [e.g. 25th, 50th, etc.], graduations, or special family occasion involving an immediate family member, the scheduling of which was beyond the control of the unit member; and
2) Upon request, the unit member provides his/her Principal with written verification of the wedding, anniversary milestone, graduation or special family occasion to the satisfaction of the Principal.
These days may only be used for full day or half day absences.
