  • FINAL WEEK – Sick Leave Bank Enrollment – Faculty & Staff

    The annual enrollment period for Faculty and Non-Faculty Sick Leave Banks is October 1 through October 31, 2020. 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, 2020. 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.
