Personal leave is allocated and available for use beginning July 1 of each year. This personal leave may be used during the fiscal year and may not be carried over from year to year. Unused personal days are not paid out upon separation from employment. Sick Leave All full-time regular administrators, full-time regular support staff, interpreter support staff on a full-time schedule, and full-time faculty are eligible for sick leave, earned at a rate of one (1) day (7 hours) of sick leave for each month worked. All employees who are part-time regular administrators, part-time regular support staff, or interpreters on a part-time schedule and who work at least 17.5 hours per week are eligible for sick leave, earned on a prorated basis. Unlimited sick leave may be carried over from year to year. There is no cash payout of unused sick leave upon separation from employment. For employees hired and working on or before June 30, 1985, please refer to the Leave Benefits Policy and Procedures. Sick leave may be used for employee illness, injury, hospitalization or preventative health care, or for a non-FMLA illness, injury, or hospitalization of an immediate family member (including spouse/domestic partner, child, step-child, grandchild, parent or parent-in-law) when the presence of the employee is necessary. Employees may use sick leave under the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) consistent with applicable laws. FCC abides by the Maryland Healthy Working Families Act for part-time employees who regularly work 12 or more hours per week. Employees using sick leave shall notify their supervisor at the beginning of the first day of absence and must keep their supervisor informed daily of their status and when a return to work is anticipated. A physician’s statement attesting to the need for sick leave must be provided to Human Resources if absence from work continues for more than five (5) consecutive workdays (with the exception of sick leave used for FMLA-approved leave). In cases of suspected sick leave abuse, a supervisor may require an employee at any time to provide medical documentation for each day of sick leave.
