SICK LEAVE DOCUMENTATION

Policy: Human Resources Administrative Practice Manual, http://www.usg.edu/employment/policies/hr_manual/away_from_work/index.phtml#sick_leave

The University System of Georgia has established a policy to allow for sick leave with pay for all benefits eligible employees. For all regular full-time employees of the University System of Georgia defined in Section 801, sick leave shall be accumulated at the rate of one working day per calendar month of service. Regular part-time employees working one-half time or more will accumulate sick leave in an equivalent ratio to their percentage of time employed. Sick leave for employees shall be cumulative.

Sick leave may be granted at the discretion of the institution and upon approval by the supervisor for an employee's absence for any of the following reasons:

Illness or injury of the employee;
Medical and dental treatment or consultation;
Quarantine due to a contagious illness in the employee's household; or
Illness, injury, or death in the employee's immediate family requiring the employee's presence.
Paid sick leave shall not be used until it is accrued.

If sick leave is claimed for a continuous period in excess of one week, a physician's statement is required to permit further claim of sick leave rights by the employee-patient.

A terminating employee shall not accumulate sick leave or be entitled to receive sick pay after the last working day of his/her or her employment.

Upon the movement of an employee among institutions of the University System, accumulated sick leave will be transferred if there is no actual break in service (BR Minutes, 1991-92, pp. 354-355).

The University System of Georgia shall accept up to a maximum of ninety-six (96) hours of sick leave from a benefited employee who moves from a State of Georgia agency to the University System of Georgia. For a unit of the University System of Georgia to accept sick leave, the employee must have no more than a thirty (30) calendar-day break in service. Written verification of the employee's sick leave balance must be provided to the University System of Georgia by the terminating State of Georgia agency.

Sick Leave is documented using eTIME which is an online process where you enter your time worked. Exempt (monthly paid) staff & faculty will only list leave taken and submit to their supervisor for approval.
