household. Sick leave accumulated on or beginning January 1, 1984, will be used first. When this is exhausted sick leave accumulated prior to January 1, 1984, will be used. 3. Reinstatement of Accumulated Sick Leave A former employee who separates in good standing and return* to employment within two years, shall have the former accrued and non-compensated sick leave restored. 4. Compensation for Accrued Sick Leave Under Public Act 83-976, all employees eligible to participate in the State Universities Retirement System or the Federal Retirement System are eligible for compensation at time of resignation, retirement, death or other termination of employment at the University for one-half of the number of days of sick leave which is earned or accrued on or after January 1, 1984. Any accumulation of sick leave earned on or after January 1, 1984, must be utilized in full prior to the utilization of any pre-January I, 1984, accumulation. Upon termination of employment, an employee may designate the portion (up to one-half) of the sick leave accumulation earned on or after January 1, 1984, which is to be paid pursuant to Public Act 83-976. The remainder thereof will be utilized for establishing service credit in the State Universities Retirement System. Employees who transfer to the University of Illinois from another State agency or employer, and complete the transfer within 120 days, will receive a credit for the balance of non-used and non-compensated disability leave accrued at the State agency or employer from which the employee is transferring. Such transferred disability leave credit will be treated in the same manner as disability leave accumulated by University of Illinois employees prior to January 1, 1984. The transferring employee will accrue compensable disability leave at the beginning of his/her employment with the University.
