Part 6 Subpart 6-7 Paid Days Off: Sick Time, Short Term Disability, Personal Days,
Funeral/Bereavement Days, Jury Duty, Vacation, Holidays, and Paid Military Duty
Sec. 6-701. Accrual and Use of Sick Time, and Short Term Disability.
All continuing full-time employees are covered under one of the two University sick
leave programs.
- Non-bargaining unit employees hired on or after July 1, 2001, and bargaining unit
employees who are covered under the terms of a collective bargaining unit agreement
which provides for this coverage, are covered under the terms and conditions of the
Temporary Disability Income Continuation Plan, referred to as the Short Term Disability
(STD) program.
- Non-bargaining unit employees hired prior to July 1, 2001, and bargaining unit employees
who are covered under the terms of a collective bargaining unit agreement which provides
for this coverage, have the option to be covered under a sick leave accrual program,
earning 4.00 hours of sick leave each 80-hour pay period, or be covered under the
STD program. Sick leave accrual (for those under this benefit option) will be pro-rated
if the employee is paid for less than the normal 80 hours per pay period. Non-bargaining
unit employees who are covered under the sick accrual system have the irrevocable
option to opt out of the accrual system and into the STD program during an annual
benefit open enrollment period.
Sick leave coverage for bargaining unit employees is controlled by the respective
bargaining unit agreements.
