To be in alignment with the new Michgian Earned Sick Time policy our Paid Time Off policy has been replaced in its entirety.
Effective Jan. 1, 2025, the following Earned Sick Time policy replaces our Paid Time Off policy detailed on pg 11 & 12 of the Employee Handbook.
Earned sick time for Caregivers is arrued at the rate of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked. (per hour rate = .0334).
Earned sick time shall carry over from year to year.
Employee is not permitted to use more than 72 hours of paid earned sick time in a single year.
Earned sick time shall begin to accrue upon commencement of the employee’s employment.
An employee may use accrued earned sick time as it is accrued.
Earned sick time must be used in 1-hour increments. (The impact is that the first hour is earned after 30 hours worked.)
Earned sick time is not paid out at termination.
Earned sick time is paid at the employee's regular pay rate.
Accrued sick time is displayed on the employee's paystub.
While the new policy is called Earned Sick Time, SHS will continue to be generous in its support of this benefit and employees will not be required to provide any details when requesting use of their hours.
All current PTO balances will be transferred to this new benefit and will continue to be available to the employee.
This Earned Sick Time benefit does not alleviate any performance expectations regarding notification to the company of your inability to report to work. Failure to show up for your scheduled shift without advance notice will be subject to corrective action under the Attendance Policy.
Please text the office if you have any questions. Thank you.
