§ 87782 Employee Sick Leave Transfer

Key Takeaways

  • •If you work at a community college for at least one school year, your sick leave moves with you to a new community college job.
  • •Your old college must tell your new college how much sick leave you have saved up.
  • •Your new college can't make you give up any of your saved sick leave when you start.

Example

A teacher works at College A for two years and saves up 10 sick days. Then, the teacher gets a job at College B.

College A must tell College B that the teacher has 10 sick days saved up. College B can't say, 'Sorry, you start with zero sick days here.' The teacher keeps all 10 sick days at the new job.
