POLICY

Full time unclassified employees (1.00 FTE) accrue eight (8) hours of sick 
leave monthly and part-time unclassified employees accrue a prorated amount.  
Graduate Assistants and unclassified employees under .50 FTE are not eligible 
to accrue or use sick leave.  Sick leave is not earned or used during 
sabbatical leave or leave without pay.

    PURPOSE

To provide salary continuance during absence from work due to illness.

    PROCEDURES

Approximately one to two (1-2) weeks prior to the end of each term, 
Division Chairs are sent the following materials to be returned within one 
(1) week after the end of the term to the Faculty Payroll Coordinator:

     a.  A letter outlining the procedures.
     b.  An alpha/FTE listing by department.
     c.  Sick leave forms for each individual on the list.

    AUTHORITY

Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 580-021-0040 outlines all the 
provisions for unclassified sick leave use, accrual, transfer, and 
termination, as well as worker's compensation integration.  OAR 580-021-
0035 covers the reassignment of work after illness longer than one (1) 
month.

responsible for accurate reporting of sick leave usage.

Sick leave records including accrual, usage, and leave balances are 
maintained in the Faculty Payroll Office.
