Employees are not eligible for HCSP payment when <br />accruing at the twelve (12) days per year rate and all unused accrued hours remain in their <br />bank. <br />If the balance is at or above 960 when checked, they move to or remain in the eight (8) day <br />per year accrual plan. <br />For the purpose of implementing this plan in 2021, the leave balances will be checked on the first <br />pay day following the signing of this contract and the terms above will apply going forward, not <br />retroactively to January 1, 2021. <br />18.1 Regular full time Employees shall accrue one day of sick leave per month and each major <br />fraction thereof, with no maximum accrual limit. <br />18.2 A regular full time Employee shall notify the Employer before the start of the Scheduled Shift or <br />as soon as possible thereafter of his/her inability to report for duty.
