A. After
the mandatory three month probationary period, all employees earn one
sick day a month. Sick time must be used as a whole day not as
hours.
B. A staff member may accrue up to 24 days of sick time. After that they lose any unused time.
C. A staff member who has exhausted his/her sick
leave allowance must take unpaid leave. After 24 consecutive days of
sick or unpaid leave, the Library must hire another employee for that
position.

1. Personal illness, which is uncomfortable or
hazardous to the individual or others with whom contact is made.
2. Visits to medical practitioners.

you must leave work because of illness, speak to or leave word with the
Library Manager.
