Chapter X — DISABILITY BENEFITS

[ July 22

B. Sick Leave (disability not arising out of and in the course of employment) 1. An employee in a Trainee, Apprentice, Provisional, Learner, or Status appointment will accumulate paid Sick Leave without limit at the rate of :95- .0462 hours for each hour, exclusive of overtime, that he is in pay status, or approximately thirteen- twelve days per annum for an employee who works either 2080 or 19S0 hours. Sick Leave benefits are subject to completion of an initial six months of pay-status service.) The University standard form of negotiated agreement contains a provision that benefits will not be diminished during the life of the agreement. The change in the rate of accrual will be made effective at the next reopening date of each negotiated agreement for employees subject to that agreement and on April 30, 1972 for all other employees-. By this latter date SO per cent of the employees covered by negotiated agreements will have already made the transition to the new Merit Board recommended rate. 3. Changes in Leaves of Absence— Chapter VII A. Jury Duty Leave An eligible employee, upon his request, shall be granted a leave of absence with pay at his regular rate without loots of pay when called for Jury Duty. University pay during Jury Duty leave will be computed as the difference between the payment for Jury Duty and the regular salary or wage of the employee. This change is made in the interest of uniformity with the other institutions and is consistent with present policy of most of them. B. Military Leave 1. For Limited Training or Emergency Call-up Leave of absence with pay at his regular rate shall be granted an eligible employee who is an officer or enlisted man in the Illinois National Guard, the Illinois Naval Militia, or the reserve components of the Armed Forces called for Limited Training or Emergency Call-up. The length of the Military Leave for Limited Training with pay will not exceed standards established by federal or state regulations for training activities required to maintain standing in the above military units. In the event the required annual Limited Training or Emergency Call up is extended beyond fifteen days or an Emergency Call-up is extended beyond thirty days, the employee will be granted leave without pay for such additional days. In the event the Limited Training service is requested by the employee but not required by military authorities, he may be granted leave without pay if operating requirements of the University permit. This change is made in the interest of a uniform policy with the other institutions and represents a compromise among present policies. D. Funeral Leave Upon his request, an eligible employee shall be granted at his regular rate of pay Funeral Leave of up to three work days for the j-aneral death of a member of his immediate family or household, and of one day for the funeral of a relative outside his immediate family or household. Leaves beyond these amounts may be approved under special circumstances. This change merely clarifies existing policy at the University of Illinois and will become standard at all institutions. 4. Changes in Vacation and Personal Leave — Chapter XIII C. 3. Each employee who is nonexempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and each employee who is exempt as an executive or administrative employee but who (1) is required to work a fixed shift, and (2) received overtime compensation if required to perform overtime shall earn Vacation and Personal Leave at the rate which is shown opposite his service years in Schedule A.
