Use of Sick Days. Absences are chargeable as sick leave only when the employee is unable to perform required duties due to illness or injury or for illness, injury or hospitalization or medical attention to a member of household or immediate family which requires the personal attention of the employee. Time off for an employee’s routine medical appointments is charged to sick time. The request for such time shall be made as far in advance as possible. An employee may exchange two sick days for one personal day with a maximum of two additional personal days obtained per year. All accumulated totals as per Article 12 Section C are to be maintained. Requests for exchange must be made at least one week in advance. An exception to the one-week notification will be allowed in emergency situations. Sick day requests will only be honored in half day (1/2) or full day increments. When school is delayed or there is an early dismissal sick time will be credited back to the employee.
