IT'S ANNUAL ENROLLMENT TIME FOR THE SICK LEAVE BANK:
APRIL 1 THROUGH JUNE 30

The sick leave bank is a common pool of hours to which staff or 12 month
faculty donate 16.0 hours (or prorated according to percentage of time
worked) of their accumulated leave.  Then, if a member of the bank
experiences a serious personal illness or injury and has used all of
his/her sick and annual leave, a request for a withdraw can be made to the
trustees of the bank.  The trustees (five member trustee board appointed by
the Chancellor) review the request and medical certification by the
treating physician; if approved, the employee may receive up to 60 days
from the bank per fiscal year, or 90 days per illness or injury.  Your
enrollment in the bank will become effective July 1, 1999.  Under certain
circumstances, an employee can also receive sick leave hours from the
donors in addition to the allocation from the sick leave bank.  The
employee must have an accumulated sick leave hour balance of 48.0 hours on
the date of June 30, 1999.  If you need an enrollment form or have any
