illness or injury. The sick-day allowance will accrue every bi-weekly pay period. An eligible full-time employee must work 60% of a pay period to earn the full-time or prorated accrual. Employees working less than 23.25 hours/week (non-benefits eligible) accrue at the rate outlined by the Chicago Paid Leave Ordinance. Use of accrued sick leave for medical appointments of the employee is permissible. In accordance with and to the extent provided for by Illinois law, employees may also use sick leave, upon the same terms as it is used for their own illness or injury, for an illness, injury, medical appointment, or the personal care of the following covered family members: child, stepchild, spouse, domestic partner, sibling, parent, parent-in-law, grandchild, grandparent or stepparent.  Pursuant to applicable law, leave used by employees for covered family members may not exceed ten business days annually.</p><p>An employee must personally contact his/her supervisor to report the use of a sick day before the work day begins. For consecutive days absent for sick leave, the employee should contact the supervisor each day unless the absence is excused by the supervisor for a specific duration. Absences of more than 3 consecutive days, meaning an employee is out, at least partially, on a fourth consecutive day, (i) require a physician鈥檚 release upon the employee鈥檚 return or, in the case of leave for a covered family member, a note from the family member鈥檚 physician stating the dates upon which the covered family member was ill, injured, had a medical appointment, or required personal care, and (ii) will generally require an employee to apply for family and medical leave. The university may also require a physician鈥檚 release or note from a family member鈥檚 physician in instances of fewer than 3 consecutive days where a pattern of absences becomes apparent.</p><p>The university reserves the right to evaluate the causes for absence and to deny compensation when circumstances warrant denial. An employee who falsifies information and uses sick leave for other than a use authorized by this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.</p><table><tbody><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;" width="40"><h4>6.01(a)</h4></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><strong>Full-Time Employees</strong><br>A full-time employee accrues sick days at a rate of 2.99 hours per bi-weekly pay period to a maximum of 1100 hours.</td></tr><tr><td><h4>6.01(b)</h4></td><td><strong>Full-Time Faculty</strong><br>A full-time faculty employee will receive a balance of 40 hours paid sick leave on the first day of employment or the first day of the 12-month accrual period. </td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;" width="40"><h4>6.02(a)</h4></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><strong>Part-Time Employees (>23.25 hours per week)</strong><br>A part-time employee regularly scheduled at least 23.25 hours per week accrues pro-rated sick days.
