Must an employee use sick leave or annual leave for time away from work to go to a doctors appointment?
The state sponsored paid leave benefits are intended to allow employees the flexibility to continue their income for a specified period when there is a need to be away from work. If an employee earns paid time off, the employee uses the paid time off when an applicable occasion occurs. This applies to Exempt and Nonexempt employees, and Classified Staff and Appointed Personnel. However, the employee and supervisor have the flexibility to agree to modify the employee’s schedule to accommodate the absence. Since these benefits have cash values upon the employee’s retirement or separation from employment, supervisors and department heads are encouraged to develop and implement fiscally sound policies and practices regarding the use of paid sick and annual leave.
