2. Sick leave accrues at a rate of 0.046154 for all hours worked. Nonexempt
employees will accrue sick leave for straight hours worked (overtime hours
not included). (Ex. 0.046154 x 1,040 total hours worked = 48 sick hours
accrued for the year.) Exempt employees will accrue based on the number
of scheduled hours.
3. Employees accrue sick leave while on extended paid leave of absence (FMLA
and Non-FMLA Leave). Sick leave does not accrue while employee is on
unpaid status during extended medical leaves of absence. Accrual rate will
be reduced by 60%when employee is receiving Short-term Disability (STD).
Time off accrued while on leave will be available for use if and when the
employee returns to work following the leave of absence. Sick days are
forfeited if employee does not return to work.
4. Full-time employees may take sick time of up to 80 hours (50 hours for parttime employees) before it is accrued. Sick hours cannot be borrowed from a
future accrual year. At termination, any used sick time not yet accrued will
be deducted from the final paycheck.
5. Accrued but unused sick leave will not be paid at termination.
6. Only if an employee is rehired within six (6) months, will sick days be
reinstated. In the event of an employment transfer to another Archdiocese
of Atlanta entity, sick time will be transferred to the receiving location.
7. In the event an employee’s status change (full-time to part-time) deems
him/her no longer eligible for paid time off, already earned sick hours are
not lost. If employee’s status changes back to paid time off eligible within a
six-month period, lost sick days will be reinstated.
8. Temporary employees are not entitled to sick leave.
9. Sick hours do not qualify for overtime compensation. Only "actual hours
worked" in a workweek are used to determine overtime eligibility.
10. Sick time may be taken in hourly increments. If sick time is used during a
workweek in which an employee has worked more than his/her normal
schedule, the amount of sick time used will be reduced.
11. The amount of sick leave hours carried over to the new calendar year will
be determined by the number of hours an employee is scheduled to work.
Scheduled hours:
20-25
26-30
31-35
36-40
Max Hours Carryover:
300 hours
360 hours
420 hours

3.4 TRANSFER OF BENEFITS / BRIDGING OF BENEFITS AND YEARS OF SERVICE
The Archdiocese of Atlanta will give credit for continuous employment within the archdiocese for
employees who transfer from one archdiocesan entity to another immediately or are re-hired
within six (6) months. The employee must have left in good standing and eligible for rehire. The
seniority date will be maintained
