Sick Leave for Personal Medical Needs
An employee may use sick leave when he or she (1) is
incapacitated for the performance of duties by
physical or mental illness, injury, pregnancy, or
childbirth; (2) receives medical, dental, or optical
examination or treatment; or (3) would, as determined
by the health authorities having jurisdiction or by a
health care provider, jeopardize the health of others
by his or her presence on the job because of exposure
to a communicable disease.
Requesting Sick Leave
An employee must request sick leave within such
time limits as the agency may require. An agency may
require employees to request advance approval of
sick leave for medical, dental,
or optical examination or treatment.
Granting Sick Leave
An agency may grant sick leave only when supported
by evidence administratively acceptable to the
agency. For absences in excess of 3 days, or for a
lesser period when determined necessary by the
agency, an agency may require a medical certificate
or other administratively acceptable evidence.
Advance Sick Leave
At the discretion of the agency, a maximum of 30
days of sick leave may be advanced to an employee
with a medical emergency.
