Sick leave is an important fringe benefit for state employees. One key aspect of this benefit is that unused sick leave can be utilized as a retirement benefit that allows eligible employees to convert unused sick leave into credits to pay post-termination health insurance premiums.
ETF’s new Sick Leave Conversion Program Employer Manual (ET-1170) explores this process in detail.
The new manual provides information about the Sick Leave Conversion Program, including:
- General information
- Accumulated sick leave conversion credits (ASLCC)
- Sick leave use for permanent layoffs
- Accumulated sick leave system (AcSL)
- Other sick leave certification situations
- Sick leave terms and definitions
