BY EDUCATION COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEES; AMENDING SECTION 33-1216, IDAHO CODE,
3 TO AUTHORIZE THE USE OF ACCRUED SICK LEAVE TO SUPPLEMENT WORKER'S COMPEN-
4 SATION PAYMENTS AND TO PROVIDE CORRECT TERMINOLOGY.
5 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
6 SECTION 1. That Section 33-1216, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
7 amended to read as follows:
8 33-1216. SICK AND OTHER LEAVE. (a) At the beginning of each new employ-
9 ment year and thereafter as necessary during the employment year, each certif-
10 icated and noncertificated employee of any school district, including charter
11 districts, shall be entitled to sick leave with full pay of one (1) day for
12 each month of service, or major portion thereof as projected for the employ-
13 ment year, subject to the limitations provided by this chapter. The local
14 board of trustees shall not provide compensation for unused sick leave. This
15 shall not prohibit the local board of trustees from establishing a policy pro-
16 viding retirement severance pay.
17 (b) The board of trustees may require proof of illness adequate to pro-
18 tect the district against malingering and false claims of illness. Any accumu-
19 lated sick leave earned prior to July 1, 1976, shall be used before the use of
20 any accumulated sick leave earned subsequent to July 1, 1976.
21 Each local board of trustees may establish a policy governing leave for
22 certificated and noncertificated employees in the case of illness or death of
23 members of the families of such employees, for professional conferences and
24 workshops, and for such other purposes as the board may determine.
25 (c) Each local board of trustees may establish a policy governing leave
26 for certificated and noncertificated employees in the case of absence during a
27 period for which the employee is paid by workmen's worker's compensation. In
28 addition the board may supplement the workmen's worker's compensation payment
29 by an amount not to exceed an amount which when combined with the workmen's
30 worker's compensation payment would be equal to the amount the employee would
31 have been paid if he had not been injured. Supplementation may come from
32 accrued vacation leave, compensatory time or sick leave time as may be pro-
33 vided in the policy of the district. Time for which a person is paid workmen's
34 worker's compensation shall not be allowed as straight sick leave which would
35 result in duplicate compensation.
36 (d) The board of trustees of any school district, including any specially
37 chartered district, may also grant a leave of absence to any certificated
38 employee of such district for service to a professional educational organiza-
39 tion of which such certificated employee is a member and has been elected to
40 hold the office of president therein, such leave to be for a period not
41 exceeding one (1) year. During the period of any such leave of absence the
42 said certificated employee shall receive the same compensation and receive or
43 accrue such other rights and benefits that he would have been entitled to or
2
1 have received or accrued had he been present and working for the school dis-
2 trict, and he shall remain an active member of the public employee retirement
3 system of Idaho; provided that such professional educational organization
4 shall first pay to the said school district an amount equal to any and all
5 compensation, contributions to the public employee retirement system of Idaho
6 and any other amounts paid to or accrued in the name of said employee during
7 such period.
Statement of Purpose
RS 13634
This amendment to Section 33-1216, Idaho Code, allows education
employees to utilize a portion of accrued sick leave to
supplement workers compensation to maintain his or her regular
salary while recovering from a disability incurred on the job
covered by workers compensation.
This provision would allow education employees to use accrued
sick leave to supplement workers' compensation pay in order to
bring the employee to his or her regular salary level. This
provision would allow education employees to be treated the same
as state employees.
Fiscal Impact
No fiscal impact to the general fund.
