All permanent, full-time employees accrue one working day of sick leave for each month of service. For many employees, the maximum accrual is limited to 260 days.

Sick leave with pay may be used in case of a bona fide illness or disability, including disability resulting from pregnancy of the employee, or in the event of illness or death of a relative in the first degree. Evidence may be required in the form of physicians' certificate for the time sick leave is requested. Up to 6 days may be used because of illness or death of a relative of the first degree.
