We have written our policyT to the minimum requirements of the law, utilizing e�sting sick <br />leave that benefit-eligible employees earn. This will be a new benefit for employTees who don't currently receive <br />paid sick leave and it `vill provide expanded usage for a portion of the banks earned byT current leave-earning <br />employees. <br />EmployTers are required to provide 1 hour of ESST for everyT 30 hours an employTee `vorks. Due to a limitation <br />within our leave accrual syTstem, employTees will earn time slightlyT quicker byT earning a fraction of an hour of ESST <br />foY each houY woYked. They will also accYue the balance of their sick leave at the same time. Due to the diffeYences <br />in how these leaves accrue, moYe leave will be accrued at the beginning of the yreaY and less after the maxirrium <br />accYual of ESST has been reached. The total amount of leave accrued at the end of the tireaY will be accurate. <br />The policy provides an adjustment to the Severance PayT PolicyT for those leaving employTment mid-yTear on1yT allow <br />pay out consistent with our original polic�r. <br />Financial Impact <br />A financial impact will occur when a previouslyT non-benefit earning employTee utilizes ESST. <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />The Elk RiveY Mission <br />Attachments <br />■ Earned Sick and Safe Time Policy <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A 2a�elcolning co�nlnunity 2a�ith T evolutiona� y and spizzted T esou� cefulness, exceptional <br />se�vice, and coln�nunity engagelnent that encou�ages and ins�iz•es pTo�pe�zty. <br />row�REo er <br />�I'1 ���� <br />Update�l• January 2023 <br />
