Leaves
This page provides information about all leave options available to employees.
COVID-Related Leave
Employees will be granted paid leave for up to 10 days (outside of their regular, accrued leave) if:
- they are instructed to quarantine due to COVID exposure in a school and cannot work from home (for example, if a teacher is a close contact of someone in their class who tests positive), or
- they test positive for COVID when there has been a recent COVID case at their work site.
In other cases, if an employee is sick or must quarantine due to COVID exposure outside of work, they should use their accrued leave time allocated for this purpose. No unvaccinated employee who has been a close contact of someone who tests positive for COVID should report to work and no employee should ever report to work sick.
If needed, staff members who have chosen to participate in their union's sick bank may also make a request to the sick bank. In addition, the district offers staff members without accrued leave the opportunity to request a leave advance.
For questions, please contact Human Capital.
