An employee has not used any sick time this past fiscal year. Can he/she convert this unused sick time to vacation time?
Regular non-exempt (hourly-paid) employees may convert part of their unused sick time to vacation time for the following fiscal year. Sick time accruals are based on the number of hours worked during the fiscal year. If an employee worked their regular 75 or 80 hour biweekly schedule they will have accrued approximately 12 sick days for that year. They may convert 6 of those 12 days minus any sick days they may have taken during the fiscal year. For example, if an employee used 1 sick day during the fiscal year, he/she may convert 5 sick days to vacation. Policy dictates that employees must leave 6 sick days in their sick balance every year and may convert the remaining 6 or less unused. A Conversion Memo will be sent (around May or early June each year) via interoffice mail to regular biweekly employees that have completed at least one year of regular employment and have accrued sick time to convert to vacation . This memo will display the amount accrued, used, and to be converted. Fo
