All polices that cover leave [vacation, sick time, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), maternity leave, short-term and long-term disability] need to be developed together so that it is clear which time is used first, when absences are paid. Currently, there are no legal requirements for paid sick leave. The FMLA does require unpaid sick leave for companies subject to this law (generally, companies with 50 or more employees).
This form is a generic example that may be referred to when preparing such a form for your particular state. It is for illustrative purposes only. Local laws should be consulted to determine any specific requirements for such a form in a particular jurisdiction.

Sick Day Policy in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina: Our organization understands the importance of employee well-being and acknowledges that employees may occasionally need time off due to illness or health-related issues. Hence, we have established comprehensive Sick Day Provisions to support our employees during such circumstances. 2. Types of Sick Leave Provided: a) Standard Sick Leave: This provision allows employees to take time off work when they are ill, injured, or are dealing with a medical condition that prevents them from performing their job duties. b) Family Sick Leave: In addition to personal illness, employees may also use Sick Days to accommodate the care of an immediate family member who is ill or requires medical attention. Immediate family members may include spouses, children, parents, or individuals who are legal dependents. c) Bereavement Leave: Mecklenburg County acknowledges that employees may require time off to handle the passing of an immediate family member. Sick Days can be used for bereavement purposes during these sensitive times. 3. Qualification and Eligibility: All employees, regardless of their full-time or part-time employment status, are eligible for Sick Day Provisions. These provisions extend to regular staff members, as well as temporary or contractual employees, subject to meeting the specified criteria: a) Probationary Period: Employees must complete the established probationary period before they become eligible to use Sick Days. b) Documentation: Employees may be required to provide medical certificates or appropriate documentation if their sick leave exceeds a specific threshold or if the organization requests verification. c) Notification: Employees are expected to notify their immediate supervisors or the designated personnel as soon as possible when taking Sick Days, preferably before the start of a shift or within the prescribed timeframe outlined in the employee handbook. 4. Accrual and Carryover: a) Accrual Policy: Sick Days are generally accrued based on the number of hours worked or a predetermined allocation per pay period. b) Maximum Accrual Limit: Employees may be subject to an upper limit on the number of accrued Sick Days or hours that can be carried over from one year to another.
