Extended Illness Time Off

 

Extended Illness Time Off

To support employees with income protection during illnesses or accidents, an Extended Illness Time Off bank is established for each regular full-time and part-time employee.  Employees may begin to use Extended Illness Time Off hours after six (6) months of full or part-time service.

Employees must be absent from work for their own illness/injury for twenty-four (24) consecutive work hours before they may use Extended Illness Time Off. For FMLA leave purposes, the twenty-four (24) hours is not required to be consecutive; it may be intermittent.

Once the twenty-four (24) hours have been satisfied, the Employee may use Extended Illness Time Off hours for any work time missed for the same injury or illness.
