Sick Leave Bank

You need to be a member of USA and a member of the sick bank in order to apply. USA members who currently are not members of the SLB and want to enroll, need to donate a full day, and have 3 sick days accrued in order to join.  New members are automatically enrolled but cannot access it until after their probationary period.

The open enrollment period runs each October. If you have questions about the SLB you may contact Randy Gryzch in Human Resources at 413-545-1473 or email rrgrzych@admin.umass.edu

One thing to remember – make sure you get your FMLA paperwork in order.  FMLA is there to protect your job and is required.

Effective July 2019, there are new application forms available.  Important changes and additional information can be found here:  USA SLB 2019_HR
