Ivey’s provides paid sick leave benefits to all eligible full-time TM’s for periods of temporary absence due to illnesses or injuries.
Eligible TM’s will accrue sick leave benefits at the rate of 4 days per year. Sick Leave Benefits are calculated on a calendar year accrual.
Team Members can request use of paid Sick Leave after they become Regular (1 calendar year of FT service), Full-time TM’s. Paid sick leave can be used in minimum increments of 4 hours (Half Day). An eligible TM may use sick leave benefits for an absence due to his or her own illness or injury, or that of your child, parent, or spouse of the Team Member.
Team Members who are unable to report to work due to illness or injury should notify their Direct Supervisor before the scheduled start of their workday if possible. The Direct Supervisor must also be contacted on each additional day of absence to get a status update.
If a Team Member is absent for three or more consecutive days due to illness or injury, a physician’s statement must be provided verifying the disability and its beginning and expected ending dates. Such verification may be requested for other sick leave absences as well and may be required as a condition to receiving sick leave benefits. Some instances of absence will require a Medical Professional’s approval to return to work safely.
Sick Leave Benefits will be calculated based on the TM’s base pay rate at the time of absence and will not include any special forms of compensation, such as incentives, commissions, bonuses, or shift differentials.
Unused Sick Leave Benefits will not be paid at the end of the year. The accrual will begin again for the next calendar year. There is no carry over, and upon termination or resignation they will not be paid out.
Sick Leave Benefits are intended solely to provide income protection in the event of illness or injury, and may not be used for any other absence.
