Sick Leave Family and Medical leave Early Release

 

Sick Leave

Sick leave is calculated by multiplying the total number of hours paid by .0334.  Sick leave is paid only for medical purposes for enrollees themselves or to attend to an immediate family member. The enrollee's earnings statement reflects the available balance of sick leave.

Sick Leave is accrued to a maximum of 80 hours at any given time. Once the 80-hour maximum has been reached, no further sick leave will accrue until the balance falls below the 80-hour maximum.

• Call or email your Technical Advisor within 2 hours of start time, when absent or late.
• Call or email each day of absence. If absent for 3 or more consecutive days without calling in, separation proceedings may be initiated.
• Submit a doctor's release by faxing it to your NEW Solutions point of contact when absent for 5 days or more.

Sick leave hours are non-worked hours and will not be included in any overtime pay calculations.

Immediate Family includes spouses, children, daughters/sons-in-law, parents, siblings, sisters/brothers-in-law, grandparents, grandchildren, mothers/fathers-in-law, step-parents, step-siblings, step-children, step-grandchildren, and domestic partners. 

Sick Leave remaining at the end of an enrollee's enrollment is not payable to the enrollee, unless specifically required by applicable State law.
