| Purpose
There shall be a sick leave policy for professional employees
that ensures that such employees will receive no less than the minimum
sick leave provided under law. Such policy shall be in accordance
with legal regulations and contractual agreements.
Guidelines
- The misuse of sick leave shall be considered a serious infraction
and subject to disciplinary action, which may include dismissal.
Records
The personnel records of the district for professional employees
shall show the attendance of each employee, and such days as that
employee may be absent shall be recorded with the reason for such
absence noted. A record shall be made of the unused sick leave days
accumulated by each employee, which shall be made available to the
employee in accordance with law.
Purpose
There shall be a sick leave policy for administrative employees that
ensures that such employees will receive no less than the minimum
sick leave provided under law for professional employees. Such policy
shall be in accordance with the following guidelines.
Guidelines
The district will provide up to twelve days annually for
sick leave for twelve-month administrators, which shall be cumulative.
The Board reserves the right to require of any administrator claiming
sick leave pay sufficient proof, including a physician's certification,
of the employees illness or disability. The Board shall consider the
application of any eligible administrator for an extension of sick
leave, pursuant to law where applicable, when the employee's own accumulated
sick leave is exhausted.
The Superintendent shall report to the Board the names of those administrators
absent for non-compensable cause of whose claim for sick leave pay
can not be justified.
The following conditions shall be part of this policy:
- Eligibility
A sick leave shall commence when the administrator reports the absence.
A sick leave day, once commenced, may be reinstated as a working
day only with the approval of the Superintendent or designee.
Whatever the claims of disability, no day of absence shall be considered
to be a sick leave day on which the employee has engaged in or prepared
for other gainful employment, or has engaged in any activity which
would raise doubts regarding the validity of the sick leave request.
- Duration of Leave
Upon the expiration of all currently earned and accumulated sick
leave, the Board may grant leave with compensation, if any, to be
determined at the time leave is granted.
- Records
The personnel records of the district for administrators shall show
the attendance of each employee and such days as that administrator
may be absent shall be recorded with the reason for such absence
noted. A record shall be made of the unused sick leave days accumulated
by each administrator, which shall be made available to the employee
in accordance with law.
