For What Can Sick Leave Be Used?

Paid sick leave may be used when an assigned employee is mentally or physically ill, injured, or has a health condition or for a medical diagnosis, care, or treatment of a mental or physical illness, injury or health condition or need for preventive medical care, and also to care for a family member who needs medical diagnosis, care or treatment of a mental or physical illness, injury or health condition or who needs preventive medical care. Family member means their child, spouse, domestic partner, parent, sibling, grandchild, grandparent, or the child or parent of their spouse or domestic partner. Sick leave may also be used due to the closure of the place of business where they are assigned by order of a public official due to a public health emergency or their need to care for a child whose school or childcare provider has been closed by order of a public official due to a public health emergency.
