Weekends and holidays that occur during the sick leave usage do not interrupt the continuous period of absence. If an employee is out sick for more than five (5) consecutive working days, the Human Resources department should be contacted by either the employee or their supervisor. This allows Human Resources to determine whether an employee is eligible for job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Entitlements https://www.wcsu.edu/hr/wp-content/uploads/sites/57/2018/08/FMLA_Policy_Statewide_General_Letter_39_0318.pdf.
