(3 Reviews)
A staff member may be paid accrued extended illness bank leave/sick leave (EIB/SCK) pay if the absence is due to:
• A hospital (inpatient) admission.
• An outpatient surgical procedure.
• A work-related illness or injury sustained on the job that qualifies for workers compensation.
• A re-occurrence of an illness when the re-occurrence appears prior to the completion of five consecutive shifts from the date of return, or the first 24 hours of illness.
• Absences that exceed 24 hours of normally worked time.
• When a staff member is absent due to an illness for which he/she subsequently (1) is admitted to a hospital as an in-patient) or (2) undergoes an outpatient surgical procedure (including dental surgery), the first three days of that illness are paid from accrued EIB/SCK leave. The previously charged PTO time is then credited to the staff member.
