Such leave shall be separate and apart from other types of leave or approved office closures. New employees must first work before becoming eligible for sick leave. Employees may accumulate an unlimited number of sick days.

2. Sick leave shall be granted as follows:

(a) Nine-month personnel shall be eligible for 10 days of sick leave. (b) Ten-month personnel shall be eligible for 11 days of sick leave. (c) Eleven-month personnel shall be eligible for 12 days of sick leave.

(d) Twelve month employees who work the full workday calendar shall earn sick leave as follows:

1 to 3 years as a full-time twelve month employee twelve (12) days per year 4 to 10 years as a full-time twelve month employee fifteen (15) days per year After 10 years as a full-time twelve month employee - eighteen (18) days per year (e) Non Certified Personnel (except bus drivers) who begin employment after the

fiscal year has begun shall have eligible sick leave days identified by determining the percentage of the work year remaining in the fiscal year and multiplying it by the number of days allocated for one who has worked the complete fiscal year. Total computed days shall be rounded to the nearest day.

Example: 120

180 = 67% x 10 days = 6.7 = 7 days 100

240 = 42% x 12 days = 5.04 = 5 days

(6)

(f) Certified personnel who change work calendars during the fiscal year will be allocated the additional time for the year. For example; a teacher who is promoted to a principal ship at midyear. . . The teacher had used 4 days of sick leave. The maximum days for a first year principal are 12 days. Thus, two additional days are added to the unused account . . . which would total 8 for the year.

*Regular employee is defined as all employees except substitutes, school guards and temporary employees.

**Supplemental and extended employment will receive no sick leave or other benefits other than those benefits funded from the source of employment (Federal and/or State).

(7)

ANNUAL LEAVE POLICY

1. Annual leave shall be earned based on years of experience in a regular full-time twelve month position with the St. Mary Parish School system. Such leave shall be separate and apart from other types of leave or approved office closures. Annual leave is earned at the conclusion of each fiscal year of employment.

2. The applicant for annual leave, at times other than summer, shall apply at least two (2) weeks in advance to his/her immediate supervisor for approval and recommendation to the Superintendent of Schools. Such application shall be in written form indicating the specific time requested and anticipated job-related activities during the leave period. All offices must be kept open and requested leaves should be approved with this in mind. Tentative summer vacation schedules (requests) should be developed by May 15th each year. All vacation requests must be approved by the immediate supervisor and recommended to the Superintendent.

3. Effective July 1, 1996, the Board has authorized first-year 12-month employees who have worked three complete months the opportunity to use a maximum of two (2) days of annual leave providing permission to use the specific days has been approved by the immediate supervisor. (A complete month is the first working day of the month thru the last working day of the month.)

4. Unused leave as of June 30 shall be forwarded to the succeeding year up to a maximum of ten (10) total days.

5. Annual leave shall be earned by those who have worked the complete fiscal year as follows:

YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DAYS PER YEAR After year(s) 1, 2 or 3 10 After 4 Years 11 After 5 Years 13 After 10 Years 15 After 15 Years 17 After 20 Years 19

6. Individuals who become 12-month employees after the start of the fiscal year will earn annual leave based on the percentage of the work year remaining at the time of employment. This percentage will be multiplied by the annual leave days the employee could have earned by working the entire 12 month work calendar. Total computed days will be rounded to the nearest day.

Example: 75

240 = 31% 31% x 10 days = 3.1 days = 3 days 190

242 = 78 % 78% x 10 days = 7.8 days = 8 days

20

240 = 8% 8% x 10 days = .8 days = 1 day

(8)

7. All twelve month employees are grand fathered into the old vacation schedule and frozen until they reach the level in the new schedule that coincides with the old schedule.

8. Actual vacation time will be guided by one’s workload. Immediate supervisors shall approve requested vacation times.

9. 12 month employees who work at least ½ of the prescribed work year (120 or 121 days) will be granted 1 year of longevity to determine the number of days of annual leave earned.

COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED ANNUAL LEAVE

At the time of discharge or final retirement of a full-time twelve month employee, the Board shall compensate the employee for all unused and/or accrued annual leave as outlined in this policy. The rate of compensation shall be equivalent to the employee’s rate of pay at the time of discharge or retirement.
