Sick Leave Reserve can be used in the event employees have a bona fide illness, injury, physically disabling condition including pregnancy, or if they must care for an ill member of their immediate family. SLR may not be used to care for well infants, children, or other family members. Those included in the definition of immediate family are individuals permanently residing in the employee's home or temporarily residing with the employee as a result of the family member's illness, including, but not limited to spouse/domestic partner/civil union partner, children, parents, and parents-in-law.
Appointments with physicians, dentists, or other health care providers that take place during normal working hours may be claimed.
Time from an employee's CTO bank may be transferred into the employee’s Sick Leave Reserve (SLR) bank. Sick Leave Reserve time, however, cannot be transferred to CTO. Employees must call in if they are going to be absent from work. Doctor's notes may be required.
