Bridging to extended sick time for non-bargained for staff on the PTO plan

What qualifies:

  1. Employees must have at least one (1) year of service and have 20 standard hours (.5 FTE) appointment on Job Data. The three extended sick time banks are loaded into the system once this requirement is met. A 400-hour bank of full pay hours, 656 hours of ⅔ pay hours, and 1056 hours of ½ pay hours are loaded. These banks are pro-rated for part time staff.
  2. Employees must have a qualifying event that lasts more than 10 days.
  3. A case must be submitted and approved by the HR Solutions Center Leave Management Team.
  4. Employee must bridge once per year in order to use Extended Sick paid time:
  • 40 hours of one time bank, PTO, or no pay
  • Must re-bridge each calendar year
  • Holidays can count towards the 40 for bridging

Employees on a continuous absence starting in 2020 that continues into 2021 will not have to re-bridge. Re-bridge will be required if the employee has a successful return to work in 2021 (returns to their full time schedule for 30 days) and is taken off work again.
