Temporary employees (TES) and student workers are able to use accrued Paid Sick Leave as soon as it is earned. Paid Sick Leave must be taken in quarter (1/4) hour increments. Paid Sick Leave may only be used in lieu of previously scheduled work hours.

Temporary employees (TES) and student workers may carry over any earned but unused Paid Sick Leave balance from one calendar year into the next without limit. Paid Sick Leave accrual never expires and all employees are encouraged to build their sick leave bank.  If a Temporary employee (TES) or student worker is hired into a permanent position by the University their accrued Paid Sick Leave will not carry over into their leave balance. If they ever return to a temporary position their earned but unused Paid Sick Leave balance will still be available.

Temporary employee (TES) or student workers that are converted to regular full-time/part-time employee positions will retain the sick time accrued as a temporary employees (TES) or student workers.
