What happens if an employee becomes seriously ill or requires medical attention prior to or during scheduled vacation?
If an employee becomes seriously ill prior to their scheduled vacation, as confirmed by the appropriate medical documentation, the period of disability should be charged to sick leave and treated like any disability circumstance, and the vacation should be restored. If an employee becomes seriously ill and is hospitalized during vacation, as confirmed by the appropriate medical documentation, the period of disability should be treated like any disability circumstance and the appropriate amount of vacation time restored. In all other situations, once a vacation commences the time cannot be charged to sick leave.
