获得病假时间
As a result of the ruling from the Massach使用tts Attorney General’s Office, resulting from implementation of the Massach使用tts 获得病假时间 Law, students who are exempt from paying Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax are exempt from accruing and using earned sick time. During the academic year, most BC students are exempt from paying FICA, so they are exempt from earning and using earned sick time.
然而, 在夏天, most BC students do pay FICA tax; therefore they are able to accrue, 使用, and carry forward into the next summer's student employment period earned sick time.
International students may be exempt from FICA, in which case they would not be eligible for 获得病假时间 (EST) 在夏天, just as most students are not eligible during the academic year when they’re exempt from FICA then. 然而, they can check their pay stubs as to whether they pay FICA, or they can contact the Human 资源 Service Center for assistance.
More detailed information about EST including Questions and Answers, as well as a public notice about this law, 可以在下面找到.
Student employees earn one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked during our summer employment period. Student employees begin earning sick time under this law as of July 1, 2015, or on their date of hire if later.
在电子游戏软件, for students it is the defined Summer 学生就业 Period, which begins the Sunday before Commencement and continues until the Saturday prior to the start of the next academic year. In compliance with the University’s Student 小时 policy statement, students may work up to a total of 40 hours per week and up to 12 weeks when working 30 or more hours per week 在夏天, which would total 480 hours (40 x 12). 因此, students could earn up to 16 hours of accrued sick time 在夏天 (480 divided by 30 hours) and carry forward to the next summer 学生就业 period any un使用d accrued sick time.
It may only be 使用d 在夏天, and student employees may begin using earned sick time 90 days after their first day of work if they begin working for 电子游戏软件 during the current summer, or began working last summer or worked during the recent academic year. 除了, sick time may be 使用d only after it has been accrued.
After a break in employment service of up to twelve months, returning student employees do not need to wait 90 days to start using their accrued sick time as long as it had been 90 days since they began working for 电子游戏软件.
In accordance with the law, accrued sick time may be 使用d to:
- Care for the student employee or the employee’s child, 配偶, 家长, 或者配偶的父母, who is suffering from a 物理 or mental illness, 受伤, or medical condition that requires home care, professional medical diagnosis or care, or preventive medical care.

是的. Time accrued from working at one job can be 使用d with the other job, and the student will be paid the wage from whichever job the student is scheduled to work when accrued sick time is 使用d.
Student employees will be able to carry over un使用d earned sick time from one summer to the next University-defined summer student employment period.
No. Any un使用d sick time will not be paid out, in accordance with the law.
Student employees should make a good-faith effort to notify their supervisors in advance if the need for using sick time is foreseeable. If the employee anticipates a multi-day absence from work, she or he should provide notification of the expected duration of the absence or, 如果未知, provide notification on a daily basis, unless the circumstances make such notice unreasonable. If the 使用 of sick time is not foreseeable, sick time must be reported as soon as possible.
In accordance with the Sick Time Law provisions, employees may be required to submit documentation from a health care provider to their department certifying that the 使用 of sick time was for an authorized purpose when the absence:
- Exceeds twenty-four (24) consecutively scheduled work hours or three (3) consecutively scheduled work days.
- Occurs within two (2) weeks prior to an employee’s final scheduled day of work before his or her employment ends for the summer.
- Occurs after four (4) unforeseeable and undocumented absences within a three (3) month period.
For the weekly student payroll, earned sick time hours that were 使用d will be reported through Kronos, as is currently done for many regular employees. 除了, 100% of the paid sick time will be charged to the current department’s HR account on the employee’s job record. (Federal Work-Study regulations prohibit the 使用 of federal funding for any purpose other than towards paying a percentage of wages for hours actually worked by the FWS-awarded student.) Two exceptions to this are: students paid from Grants; and, Off-Campus Work-Study students. In these two cases, 使用d sick time will be charged to a separate University account. 经理, as well as those who can approve hours in Kronos, will be able to view information about accrued and 使用d sick time hours on the Leave Balance Detail Page in the Leave Accrual System. Student employees will be able to view their information through the PeopleSoft Self-Service application – Payroll & Compensation/Leave Balance Detail, as well as on their check advice.
The student should speak with her or his supervisor who, 反过来, can check with someone in that office or department who will be able to view information about that student employee in the Leave Accrual System.
If a student employee is exempt from FICA tax, that employee is exempt from the Sick Time Law. If the student employee is covered by the FICA tax withholding requirement, such as 在夏天, the employee must be allowed to accrue and 使用 sick time. 除了, a student employee is only eligible to 使用 accrued sick time during periods when the student employee is covered by the Sick Time Law, so that a student is not entitled to 使用 sick time accrued in the summer during the academic year; and, the reasoning is that during the academic year the student is exempt and not entitled to any benefits under that Law during that period of exemption.
