Eligible employees in certain bargaining units who have used less than forty (40) hours of sick leave in the preceding fiscal year may, at the employee’s option, convert a portion of that unused sick leave to vacation leave (or annual leave for those in AOU). The fiscal year is defined by the applicable MOU.

How It Works
- Sick leave may be converted to vacation leave according to the chart in the applicable MOU under Sick Leave Conversion, Sick Leave Conversion Option, Sick Leave Conversion to Vacation, or Vacation Conversion Option.
- Employees may elect to convert in increments of 1/4 hours.
- A conversion factor of 1 hour of sick leave to 0.6 hours of vacation leave will be used to calculate the amount of sick leave hours converted to vacation leave/annual leave.
This benefit only applies to certain bargaining units, so please refer to the applicable MOU to see if you are eligible.
