Sick Leave Purpose Clause Samples

The Sick Leave Purpose clause defines the specific reasons for which employees are permitted to take sick leave. Typically, this clause outlines that sick leave may be used when an employee is unable to work due to illness, injury, or medical appointments, and may also extend to caring for immediate family members who are ill. By clearly stating the acceptable uses of sick leave, this clause ensures both employees and employers understand the boundaries and legitimate purposes for absence, thereby reducing misunderstandings and supporting fair application of leave policies.
Sick Leave Purpose. The purpose of sick leave is to afford all employees financial protection from time lost from work due to an illness or accident. Although sick leave is accrued on a monthly basis similar to vacation time, its intended use is not to provide for discretionary time off, but rather to help ensure the employee has accumulated sufficient sick time to cover time off when a real health problem arises.
