A full-time exempt employee may use sick time. A full-time non-exempt employee may use accrued sick time (up to 30 days based on the employee's sick time bank), floating holidays and then vacation time in that order.
A part-time employee may use up to 60 hours of paid sick time per year, based on their accrual. Part-time employees accrue sick time at a rate of one (1) hour for every forty (40) hours of work.
For extended periods of illness, after five days, eligible employees may qualify for short-term disability benefits or Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) based on certification of their condition by a medical practitioner. The employee should contact the Lincoln Financial Group for instructions by calling 800-341-0593 or accessing the Lincoln Financial portal through
mybluesky.depaul.edu then click on the Lincoln Financial Group tile. Details about
FMLA can be found on the Office of Human Resources website.
