Sick Leave
The following steps are used to determine whether any sick leave days granted or reinstated by an employer in addition to the normal annual allotment are actually available for use and reportable to TRS for service credit.

________ |
| 2. |
Subtract the number of sick leave days already on the member’s record. |
|
(_______) |
| 3. |
The difference is equal to the additional days, if any, that may be added or reinstated and reported to TRS. |

________ |
The number of sick leave days reported to TRS as determined above must be reduced by the number of sick leave days used prior to termination. See Examples 1 and 2.
Unused, uncompensated sick leave days are not eligible for service credit at retirement when the member receives payment for accumulated sick leave days that is reportable to TRS as creditable earnings. See Examples 3 and 4.
