Regular full-time and part-time (20-31 hours per week) employees, employed a minimum of six continuous months, are eligible to use two days of available sick leave per calendar year for personal leave. On January 1 of each year, personal leave days are converted from sick leave for eligible employees. Personal leave should be planned in advance with supervisory approval. Employees should report personal leave hours as "B" on their time sheets. Personal leave is available as follows:
- leave can be taken in one hour increments
- personal leave days are converted at a rate of 1/5 of a work week
- unused hours will remain in the employee's personal leave bank and only the number of hours necessary for a maximum balance of two personal leave days will be converted from your sick leave on January 1 of each year
- overruns on personal leave will be deducted from vacation time, if available
- before January 1 of each year, employees must have a minimum of two days of sick leave to convert any days to personal leave
- all eligibility criteria must be met by January 1 of each year to qualify for personal leave in that year; otherwise personal leave is not available until the following calendar year, if eligible at that time
- employees under disciplinary action for absenteeism are not eligible for personal leave;
- unused personal leave is not paid when employment ends.
