While on sick leave, you are entitled to 100% of your full pay and benefits for up to 2/12 of your total assigned work in each course. You may accumulate unused sick leave from the two previous academic years, to provide a maximum sick leave benefit of 4/12 of any assigned course.
If you have a Long Term Appointments you accumulate paid sick leave at a rate of one half-day per month pro-rated to the number of hours you work.
Conditions
To benefit from sick leave, you must meet the following conditions:
- Advise your supervisor at the beginning of the absence. Should you work shifts, advise your supervisor at least two (2) hours before the beginning of your shift.
- Should you be absent for three (3) working days or more, you must submit a medical note to the Health and Wellness sector of Human Resources.

At any time during your sick leave, the University may require that you undergo an independent medical examination by a University-appointed doctor to determine if you are eligible for sick leave benefits. The University pays for the examination.
