Every calendar year, you can use up to 80 hours of your sick time to care for a sick family member.  </p> <p>If you use all of your accumulated sick time, at your option, additional absence can be charged to your accumulated vacation time, personal holiday, service days, or accrued compensatory time.</p> <p>If you run out of vacation, you may be granted a leave of absence without pay in accordance with <a href="https://policy.psu.edu/policies/hr16" target="_blank">HR 16</a>.
