Sick Leave Bank (VRS Plan 1 and Plan 2 participants ONLY)

Eligible employees may participate in the sick leave bank, a “pool” of accrued sick leave days for use by member employees who are unable to work because of an extended personal illness or disability. To become a member, eligible employees contribute a day of sick leave to the pool. After a 42-day waiting period and all leave is exhausted, members are eligible to receive their full pay for up to 6 weeks. New employees can join within 30 days after their introductory period ends or during open enrollment periods.
