Sick Pay Benefits

The University provides a sick pay accumulation plan for faculty and staff. Sick leave time is accumulated according to the following schedule:

Employee Type	Number of Hours Accumulated per pay
Faculty & Salaried Professional Staff	10 hours per month*
Classified Hourly Staff	4.6 hours per 80 hours worked

* Pro-rated for Academic Year and Part-Time appointments.Sick pay hours may be used for the employee or family member's illness and/or injury. Sick pay accumulation is also available for incidents of short-term disability until an employee satisfies long-term disability application requirements.Accumulation is unlimited and may be transferred among city, county or state agencies within Ohio. With 10 years of state service, one-quarter of your accumulated unused sick leave balance up to 240 hours may be paid out in cash upon retirement.If you have previous employment with any Ohio public agency (State, County, Municipal) that service time and accrued unused sick time may be transferred to CSU. This additional service time may affect your longevity and vacation accrual if you are a classified employee.
