The district COVID leave program expired after May 31, 2021. Leave used for COVID related reasons after this date should be considered like normal sick leave. If an employee is positive and the absence reaches a 6^th day of absence, they should contact Employee Benefits to file for medical leave coverage, but this is the only situation that would apply. 

If employees have concerns about depleting leave for COVID based reasons, there is an existing benefit program already in place that can assist.  Employees may enroll for the Catastrophic Benefit pool by donating one day of personal illness leave to the pool.  If the employee goes into deduct, up to 20 days can be repaid (this is not a leave restoration program but a repayment program for deduct hours).  Proof of COVID situation will be required through the application process.  Additional information on how to enroll can be found on the Employee Benefits website. 

Employee Benefits encourages you to keep and be prepared to provide any documentation that would help support an absence as it could help negate this for you.  That will be at the discretion of the manager and the Chief Human Resources Officer and any case will be thoroughly reviewed.

Please contact Employee Benefits at employeebenefits@usd259.net.
