Can an employee use other accrued leave in lieu of sick leave to cover unplanned medical absences?

In 9. Tardiness & Absenteeism
Tagged Employee Relations Handbook, Sick Leave, Tardiness, Absenteeism

As stated in the MOUs, approval to use accrued vacation, holiday, and compensatory time hours is and has always been at management’s discretion. Historically, some departments, in some circumstances, have allowed the usage of vacation, holiday or compensatory time rather than sick leave to cover unplanned medical absences, while other departments have not.

Effective April 22, 2007, departments which had been allowing the usage of other accrued leave in lieu of sick leave for unplanned medical absences will no longer continue that practice in work weeks where an employee works overtime.
