surance plans and the State Universities Retirement System are borne in part by the employer and in part by the employee. A. Workmen's Compensation (disability arising out of and in the course of employment) An employee who suffers disability arising out of and in the course of his employment will receive compensation, as determined by the University Committee on Accident Compensation, in accordance with the provisions of the Illinois Workmen's Compensation and Occupational Diseases Acts. Payment of income benefits under these Acts (temporary total disability) may be supplemented by payments from earned University benefits (e.g., Sick Leave, Vacation and Personal Leave) but the total payments may not exceed basic straight time compensation. B. Sick Leave (disability not arising out of and in the course of employment) 1. An employee in a trainee, apprentice, provisional, or status appointment will accumulate paid Sick Leave without limit at the rate of .05 hours for each hour, exclusive of overtime, that he is in pay status, or approximately thirteen days per annum for an employee who works either 2080 or 1950 hours. 2. An employee may use his accumulated Sick Leave when he is absent because he is ill or injured or in order to obtain medical or dental consultation or treatment. C. State Universities Retirement System Benefits Disability benefits available from the State Universities Retirement System are described in its Handbook of Information. D. University Insurance Plans The benefits payable under University sponsored insurance plans are set forth in master policies. Pertinent provisions of these policies are described in brochures available at each campus Insurance Office. E. The President of the University may issue rules for the administration of Disability Benefits as he determines to be in the interest of the University. Disability benefits are continued on the same basis as heretofore except that (I) sick leave is no longer extended to casual, temporary, and extra help type employment and (2) sick leave is related directly to hours of work and earned at the rate of .05 hours for each hour in pay status. This will result in an employee who works full time earning the same (or slightly more) sick leave than has been the case heretofore; but, an employee will not earn sick leave when his is away from work due to an unexcused absence nor will he earn sick leave while he is on layoff as under certain circumstances has been the case in the past. I concur in the recommendation that these policies be approved as herein presented. Upon their approval, appropriate rules will be issued as indicated and modified from time to time as circumstances warrant in accord with policies established. O n m o t i o n of M r .
