Sick Days
IAPE members working full-time, five days per week are entitled to a minimum of six paid sick days per year. In addition to leave for personal illness, sick days may be used for dependent care, such as family illness. You may also use one of your sick days, even in one-hour increments if that's what you prefer, for emergencies or family needs.
Your supervisor may require a doctor's note for illnesses that last more than two days. You may carry up to four unused sick days over to the next calendar year. Employees working less than five days per week are entitled to fewer sick days, as are first-year employees hired after April 30th. Part-time employees are entitled to unpaid sick time. Contact us at union@iape1096.org for more details.
The Factiva contract provides for unlimited sick time, with a doctor's note required only when there's a reasonable concern of sick time abuse.
