Family Illness/Medical Appointments: Sick leave granted because of illness in the immediate family or because of scheduled doctor/dentist appointments for members of the immediate family shall normally be limited to 56 working hours per calendar year for all incidents.
Note - accrued sick leave may not be used until after three months of employment.
Accrued paid leave benefits are used in conjunction with FMLA/CFRA as appropriate.
