ESL
Extended Sick Leave
ESL helps provide an employee with income protection for absences due to an employee’s own illness or injury of duration longer than three (3) scheduled shifts. ESL shall be paid at the employee’s rate of pay in effect at the time of the absence. ESL hours will be paid only for scheduled days of work missed after the third (3rd) scheduled shift of absence. For employees receiving wage replacement benefits including workers’ compensation or SDI, ESL is integrated up to the employee’s FTE status.
ESL shall be paid for the Nurse’s regularly scheduled working days up to a maximum of five (5) days, forty (40) hours a week. A paid holiday to which a Nurse is entitled will not be subtracted from paid ESL accumulation.
