Sick Leave Benefits

Hollon Oil Company makes available paid sick leave benefits to all eligible employees for periods of temporary absence due to illnesses or injuries.

After one year of employment, employees in the following employment classification(s) are eligible for paid sick leave benefits as described in this policy:

* Regular full-time employees

After each year of employment, eligible employees will accrue sick leave benefits of 6 days per year. Paid sick leave benefits are accrued on an annual basis after each year of employment and are not accrued throughout the year.

Paid sick leave can be used in minimum increments of one-half day (4 hours).

Eligible employees may use sick leave benefits for an absence due to their own illness or injury or that of a family member who resides in the employee's household.

Employees who are unable to report to work due to illness or injury should notify their direct supervisor before the scheduled start of their workday if possible. The direct supervisor must also be contacted on each additional day of absence. If an employee is absent for three or more consecutive days due to illness or injury, a physician's statement must be provided verifying the disability and its beginning and expected ending dates. Such verification may be requested for other sick leave absences as well and may be required as a condition to receiving sick leave benefits. Before returning to work from a sick leave absence of 3 calendar days or more, an employee must provide a physician's verification that he or she may safely return to work.

Sick leave benefits will be calculated based on the employee's base pay rate at the time of absence and will not include any special forms of compensation, such as incentives, commissions, bonuses, or shift differentials.

Unused sick leave benefits will be allowed to accumulate until the employee has accrued a total of 30 days (240 hours) worth of sick leave benefits. If the employee's benefits reach this maximum, further accrual of sick leave benefits will be suspended until the employee has reduced the balance below the limit.

Sick leave benefits are intended solely to provide income protection in the event of illness or injury, and may not be used for any other absence. Unused sick leave benefits will not be paid to employees while they are employed or upon termination of employment.
