1. Participation in the ESTA Sick Leave Bank is
voluntary, but one must be a participant in order to qualify for withdrawal of
sick leave days in the event of a serious illness or family calamity. We cannot waive the timelines for indicating
a desire to participate.
2. Once an individual begins participation in
the Sick Leave Bank program, that person’s membership in the program continues
into subsequent years unless the participant notifies the District Human
Relations Office of a desire not to participate further. Such notification must be made in writing by
the last working day in September each year.
3. Participants may apply to withdraw sick leave
days from the Bank on a form which is available from the ESTA Sick Leave Bank
Committee or online at www.eastsideta.org
. Each application is
discretely and carefully reviewed for need and circumstances by the Committee,
which may or may not grant the request.
