All who participate in the plan will receive their sick leave as part of their incentive plan. This means that you will receive sick leave whether you resign or retire. Sick leave will be included in your UFSP monthly payment. The amount of sick leave you are eligible for, according to policy 3342-6-11.1, is one-fourth or 25% of your balance up to a maximum of 30 working days or 240 hours.
Eligible employees electing the UFSP and exiting by Jun. 30, 2023, shall receive 100% of their base salary as of Jun. 30, 2023, not to exceed $80,000.
