Sick Leave Bank Enrollment – Faculty & Staff
The annual enrollment period for Faculty and Non-Faculty Sick Leave Banks is October 1 through October 31, 2021. If you are already a sick leave bank member, you do not need to re-enroll.
Please complete your enrollment form via DocuSign at Sick Leave Bank Form. Your form must be received by 4:30 pm on October 31, 2021. Please note that if you do wish to participate, the assessment will be fifteen (15.0) sick leave hours for full-time employees (prorated for permanent, part time). This will be deducted from your November Leave Report which will be turned in at the first of December.
NOTE: You may receive sick leave donations from other employees only if you are a sick bank member. Since the beginning of the program in 1989, there has not been a need to require more than the initial assessment of 15 hours for each full-time member.

Free WiFi
Having difficulty or no luck connecting to the internet to complete assignments either at home or on the road? Then please reach out to the College of Interdisciplinary Studies! Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Mike Gotcher, College Dean, and through a grant he obtained to provide 200 TN Tech students FREE and unlimited WiFi we currently still have 80 devices available just for the asking. Students, and sometimes staff and faculty, frequently struggle to establish much needed WiFi access to complete assignments, attend zoom lectures or meetings, or to be able to download course content. The grant covers the WiFi devices until mid-April so you may borrow the unit now and keep it to complete your Spring semester. Interested parties should contact Ms. Dylcia Cowan at dcowan@tntech.edu. You are also welcomed to drop in at Southwest Hall, Room 141A between 8a – 4:30p. Ms. Cowan can also be reached at 931-372-3366. Wings Up!
