B. What you must do to use the Sick Leave Bank:

1. You must first obtain a Sick Leave Bank Request Form from the PGCEA office. This is a multi-part form containing sections for completion by you, your doctor and your principal. The doctor must indicate a return to work date and prognosis for full recovery on every form submitted to PGCEA. The principal or immediate supervisor has to sign this form for members using the bank their first time. You must make sure that the form is signed by you, your doctor and your principal as required. Please read the Sick Leave Bank Rules attached to each copy of the request for any restrictions or conditions that may apply.

C. What does PGCEA do with your completed form.

1. Sick Leave Bank Request forms are reviewed by a PGCEA Sick Leave Bank Committee for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with the rules; and recommend approval for a specified grant of 20 or 30 days as appropriate. This Committee meets the 1st and third Monday of each month. It is important that your request be at PGCEA several days prior to this meeting to allow sufficient time to prepare your request for review. PGCEA will inform you of the results of its review via post card or letter
