KRONOS TIMEKEEPER CPS MANUAL

Personal Business days cannot be barred based on the reason or based on which date the employee has chosen. The details for personal business days are laid out in Part III of Section 302.9 of the CPS Policy Manual. New hires get their PB days after 60 days of employment, with the number prorated based on the month in which they were hired. At the end of the year, any unused PB days are forfeited. Personal Business DaysĮducators get three personal business days (PB days) per year. Teachers at Step 14 or above and PSRPs at Step 7 or above with at least 18 years of experience get two additional sick days each year. Longevity DaysĪrticle 37-2 stipulates that teachers at Step 13 and PSRPs at Step 6 with at least 13 years of experience get one additional sick day each year. Members who accumulated sick days prior to Jhave a “Grandfather bank” of days that can be used for all the purposes above, but will also be paid out upon resignation or death, either fully or partially based on number of years worked (with a minimum of 20 years). Those banked sick days can be used for FMLA leave (see below) to supplement short-term disability pay or for pension credit when you retire. Out of the sick days granted each year (10 for most teachers) any unused sick days can be added to that bank (known as the “CTU bank”) until you reach 244 days banked. Our 2019 contract has new language in Article 37 that expands the number of current sick days employees can bank from 40 to 244 days. If an educator needs a sick day within those first 60 days, they’ll need to take an unpaid zero day, but after completing their first 60 days, the educator may apply to use their newly released sick days and get paid for any qualifying days taken previously. After 60 days those days become accessible back to the first day of employment. New Hiresĭuring the first 60 calendar days of employment, members do not have access to sick days. In addition, if a principal has a “reasonable suspicion” that an employee is abusing sick days, they may demand a physician’s certificate, no matter how much or little time was taken.

For the complete list see CPS Policy Manual Section 302.9, section I.Įducators who take more than three consecutive days may be required to provide a note from the professional who treated them. Immediate family includes spouse or partner, children, stepchildren, foster children, siblings, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. In this definition, “illness” includes medical, dental and mental health appointments. In Section I, the policy defines a Sick Day as paid time off for personal illness or illness in the immediate family or household. In addition to the information laid out in CPS policy, the CTU has negotiated terms of sick days in Article 37 of the contract. For more information, educators at charter schools should consult with their field representative. Charter management companies operate under different rules depending on the network. Benefit Days (Ten Days or Fewer)įor employees of CPS, shorter periods of paid time off are governed under CPS Policy Manual Section 302.9. If, after reading this page, details relevant to your situation are unclear, please contact your field rep. The rules can be confusing, but we have written this brief guide to clarify common questions. Despite clear guidelines, too many principals either mistakenly or purposefully seek to deny educators their rightful benefit days. CTU has negotiated for and defended members’ right to paid time off for decades.
