Sick Leave Bank
The purpose of the Sick Leave Bank is to provide additional sick leave days to members of the Bank who in the event of a catastrophic illness or injury have exhausted all paid leave days. The request for additional days may only be made when a member has exhausted all accumulated state, local and vacation leave days.
Definition of Catastrophic Illness/Injury: According to Board Policy DEC(Local), a catastrophic illness or injury is a severe condition or combination of conditions affecting the mental or physical health of the employee that requires the services of a licensed practitioner for a prolonged period of time and that forces the employee to exhaust all leave time earned by that employee and to lose compensation from the District.
