II.
Personal Leave
This
policy enables Faculty Associates in the
Illinois State University Laboratory
Schools to utilize up to two days of
non-accumulative sick leave for personal
leave. The responsibility for granting the personal leave days and
associated record keeping resides with the
Laboratory School administration.
Faculty
Associates with a full-time contract in
the Laboratory Schools are entitled to two
days (15 hours) of personal leave with pay
in each year of service, including the
first.
Faculty Associates with less than a
full-time contract in the Laboratory
Schools are entitled to one day (7.5
hours) of personal leave with pay in each
year of service including the first.
Unused personal leave days, or
hours, cannot be carried over from year to
year. No portion of this benefit is payable upon termination.
A year is defined as the school
contract year.
These
personal leave days may be granted as full
or half days, but not less than increments
of half days.
Use of personal leave days requires
no explanation for absence.
Notification must be submitted to
the Building Principal on the form
provided at least two work days in advance
of the intended absence (except in cases
of emergencies).
Personal leave days requested
immediately prior to, or after, holidays
and vacation periods, or institute and
inservice days, or during final
examinations will be granted only under
special circumstances with prior approval
from the Building Principal and will
require written explanation.
On days when 20 percent of the
Faculty Associates are known to be absent
in a building, the administrator may deny
further requests for personal leave.
III. Sick Leave
Refer
to www.policy.ilstu.edu/policydocs/sick_leave2.htm
for policies regarding Accumulative Sick
Leave, Non-Accumulative Sick Leave, Use of
Sick Leave, and the Family and Medical
Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA).
A. Notification of Absence
Any
Faculty Associate who is (or expects to
be) absent from employment shall notify
their Building Principal immediately, and,
in cases where the absence will be for
more than three days, the employee shall
notify the supervisor of the anticipated
length of absence so that arrangements can
be made for the employee’s duties to be
assumed in said absence.
The University reserves the right
to require acceptable evidence of illness,
injury, or disability before allowing any
sick leave benefits.
An
employee absent for ten or more
consecutive days is required to present to
the Benefits Office a return
to work authorization from an
attending physician.
Such notice should include the
employee’s name, date of release to
return to work, physician’s signature,
and physical restrictions, if any.
Failure to do so may delay the
employee’s next paycheck.
B. Compensation at Termination (May
change due to recent legislation)
At
the time of termination, an employee is
entitled to payment for all unused
accumulative sick leave days earned after
January 1, 1984, and on or before December
31, 1997.
This compensation shall be equal to
one-half the number of all unused
accumulative sick leave days multiplied by
the daily rate of pay applicable to the
employee at the time of termination of
State service.
An employee may elect, however, to
forego payment for unused accumulative
sick leave days so that all such days are
eligible for additional service in the
State Universities Retirement System.
