Employees may find that they are unable to work for periods of times due to their illness or that of a qualified dependent. Whether salaried or hourly, sick pay is made available to our full-time employee population. Hourly employees are granted sick time upon hire to use throughout the year. If an hourly employee does not exercise the sick hours afforded, the hours are carried forward into the next calendar year. In some circumstances, it is feasible to have the accumulated sick hours paid out to an employee at their current hourly rate when sick time is carried forward into the following year. If the employee’s illness is related to exposure to COVID-19, Connection implemented an Emergency Sick Pay Plan to not only provide compensation to those who are out of work for themselves or a dependent, but as a testament to our commitment to providing a safe work environment for all employees.
