UVM Sick Time Deficit: If you exhaust all other paid leave options, UVM will allow you to borrow up to 10 days of sick
time (-80 hours max)against your future accruals if you are self-quarantining, exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, or you are
unable to work or telework. If you go into a sick time deficit, you will not be able to use sick time until the deficit is paid
back. UVM reserves the right to recoup any remaining sick time deficit from the final paycheck of employees who
terminate before they regain a positive sick time balance.
I intend to use the sick time deficit.
Public Health Emergency Leave (PHEL): Must be employed at least 30 calendar days before you are eligible for this
leave. This leave allows up to 10 weeks of paid time, at 2/3 of regular base pay (up to $200 per day), to care for your
child whose school or place of care is closed due to COVID-19. PHEL may be used intermittently on a daily basis (e.g.
work Monday and Tuesday, use PHEL Wednesday through Friday). Note: Do not record hours on timesheet in less than
daily increments.
(no earlier than April 1, 2020)
(no later than December 31, 2020)
I intend to use PHEL intermittently (describe days PHEL will be used):
