Sick bank membership is automatic after eligibility requirements have been met. Please consult the BCPSOPE Master Agreement.
The purpose of the Unified Sick Leave Bank is to provide sick leave to contributors to the bank after the member’s accumulative sick leave has been exhausted – more specifically to provide such leave from the bank in cases of personal illnesses. THIS LEAVE IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE LEAVE TO EMPLOYEES WHO WILL BE RETURNING TO WORK.
Sick leave covered by the bank is for catastrophic illness, injury, or quarantine that makes an employee unable to perform the duties of his/her position. The bank may not be used for illness or disabilities related to the contributor’s family.
Unified Sick Leave Bank benefits may not be used to postpone retirement.
To receive benefits an application must be filed by the employee. To file an application, call the BCPSOPE sick bank committee at 443-410-4440 or email bcpsope@outlook.com and complete an application form.
Applications are reviewed by a committee consisting of members selected by BCPSOPE. The Office of Risk Management approves the request.
Benefit to members of BCPSOPE vs. nonmembers: Should a second opinion medical review be necessary, BCPSOPE may assume out-of-pocket expenses for Organization members. Nonmembers will assume 100% of the costs.
One year maximum Sick Leave Bank benefit during career with BCPS.
