If you\u2019re an MSU support staff member, you may have you\nfound yourself wondering how MSU\u2019s family sick time balance works. How is your\nsick time balance related to your family sick time balance? Let\u2019s break it\ndown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, what is<\/em> family sick time? Basically, the\nuniversity gives you paid time you can take to care for a family member or\nsomeone in your home. Exactly how much time and what qualifies varies depending\non your union. Find out here how your union defines\nfamily sick time.<\/a> You get a certain amount of family sick time to\nuse during a fiscal year, July 1 \u2013 June 30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Technically, no. When you enter time in EBS, it appears separately, but any time you take for family sick will be deducted from the family sick balance AND your personal sick time balance. This means if you want to take eight hours of family sick time, you have to have eight hours available in BOTH the sick time balance and family sick time balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think of it this way \u2013 you earn sick time every pay period and of that sick time, you can use a set number of hours as family sick time. Your sick time can be used when you personally are sick or when you go to the doctor or dentist. If you use up all your family sick time, you cannot use your personal sick time to cover times when you\u2019re away from work to care for a family member of someone in your home. View the full policy for support staff here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sue Spartan gets paid monthly. She earns eight hours of sick\ntime every pay period. On July 1, Sue gets 80 hours of family sick time to use\nthrough June 30 of the next year. She has accumulated a sick time balance of\n100 hours. Sue\u2019s son, Sam, gets sick one day and she wants to take time off\nwork to stay home and care for him. Sue will enter eight hours of time taken\nfrom her family sick time balance. Her updated balances will show 92 hours of\nsick time and 72 hours of family sick time remaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re still not sure how the family sick time quota balance works, or if you have questions for your specific situation, give us a call!
