Sick Leave Question: I work eleven months a year and my pay is spread over twelve months. Am I entitled to 12 sick days per year?
No. You are entitled to only 11 days per year. You earn one day of sick leave for each “month” you are employed by the district. A classified employee, employed five days per week, who is employed for less than a full fiscal year is entitled to that proportion of 12 days leave of absence for illness or injury as the number of months he is employed bears to 12. There is additional pro-ration for employees who work less than 5 days per week.For more specific information about your rights to sick leave, read your contract or contact your Job Steward, Chapter President or Labor Relations Representative.
