SECTION 5.1.1 LEAVE SHARING PROGRAM
NEW Leave Sharing Change Memorandum of Agreement
The District and the Association agree to modify Sections 5.1.1 B and 5.1.1 G for the remainder of the Collective Bargaining Agreement by adding the following language:
NEW B. An employee shall be entitled to receive leave under this item if the employee suffers from, or has a relative or household member suffering from an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition which is of an extraordinary or severe nature, or who has been called to military service and which has caused, or is likely to cause, the employee to go on leave without pay status or terminate employment.
NEW G. An employee who has accrued sick leave balance of more than twenty-five (25) days may request a transfer of a specified amount of sick leave to another employee. In no event may such an employee request a transfer that would result in his or her sick leave account going below twenty-five (25) days.
A. Certificated employees may participate in the Stanwood-Camano School District Leave Sharing Program as regulated by state law and provided by Board policy.
B. An employee shall be entitled to receive leave under this item if the employee suffers from, or has a relative or household member suffering from an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition which is of an extraordinary or severe nature and which has caused, or is likely to cause, the employee to go on leave without pay status, or terminate employment.
C. An employee receiving such leave sharing transfer must have depleted or will shortly deplete his or her accumulated sick leave.
D. Staff members receiving workers' compensation are not eligible to receive leave sharing.
E. An employee needing leave days shall submit a request to the District. In the event the employee is unable to submit such written request, a designee may submit the request on behalf of the employee.
F. The superintendent, or designee, shall determine the amount of leave, if any, which an employee may receive. A full-time employee shall not receive a total of more than one hundred eighty (180) days leave. Part-time employees shall not receive more than their prorata share.
G. An employee who has accrued sick leave balance of more than sixty (60) days may request a transfer of a specified amount of sick leave to another employee. In no event may such an employee request a transfer of more than six (6) days of sick leave during the twelve (12) month period of September 1 through August 31, or request a transfer that would result in his or her sick leave account going below sixty (60) days.
H. The donating employee will complete the District form on leave sharing and submit the completed form to the personnel office.
I. While an employee is on leave, he or she shall receive the same treatment in respect to salary, wages, and employee benefits as the employee would normally receive if using accrued sick leave.
J. Recipients must use accumulated donated hours on consecutive work days unless recommended otherwise by a physician's statement and approved by the director of personnel.
K. Transfer of leave shall not exceed the donating employee's requested amount.
L. The value of the leave transferred shall be based upon the leave value of the person receiving the leave.
M. Any leave transferred under this policy
which remains unused shall be returned to the employee who donated
the leave. To the extent administratively feasible, the unused
leave which was transferred by more than one employee shall be
returned on a prorata basis. For example, if three people each
donate one hour to someone and only one of the three hours is
used, two-thirds of one hour of leave would be returned to each
donating
employee.
