Sick Leave Conversion Option. Employees who have used less than forty (40) hours of sick leave in a fiscal year (i.e., pay period 15 through pay period 14 of the following year) may, at the employee’s option, convert sick leave to vacation leave by the following formula: Hours of sick leave used are subtracted from forty (40). Sixty percent (60%) of the remainder, or a portion thereof, may be added to vacation leave to be utilized in the same manner as other accrued vacation leave. Employees in regular positions may use up to two (2) days paid leave, not charged to the employee’s personal leave balances, per occurrence for bereavement due to the death of the employee’s family member as defined under Section 1(a)(2) of this Article. One (1) additional day shall be granted if the employee travels over one thousand (1,000) miles one-way from his/her residence to the bereavement service(s). This additional day shall not be charged to the employee’s personal leave balances.
