Local sick leave days may be used if you or immediate family members are sick.
Definition of immediate family:
spouse
son or daughter, including a biological, adopted, step or foster child, a son- or daughter-in-law
parent, stepparent, parent-in-law
sibling, stepsibling, and sibling-in-law
grandparent and grandchild
Medical certification (doctor's note) must be provided if:
The employee is absent more than 4 consecutive workdays because of personal illness or illness in the immediate family
There is a questionable pattern of absences
If an employee runs out of local sick days, the payroll system will automatically use a day from the next leave bank that has available days. (The next bank is typically your state personal leave bank.)
