To all CSEA Unit 9200 members:
The CSEA 9200 union officers are working with the County Administration to resolve the Emergency Sick Bank program. The Sick Bank Program is just as important as Health Insurance should any one of us need to be out for recovery following a surgery, an accident, or a sickness and we deplete all of our Annual, Personal and Sick Leave balances.
If you have not done so, please donate the scheduled Sick Leave days to the Sick Bank to build up the balance. The schedule is spelled out in the link below. Donations are not taken automatically; you must donate using the form per the schedule. If you missed the date, just donate now since it is not too late.
In fact, you can donate your total of 5 days at any time, which will resolve the issue sooner and allow us to utilize this very important benefit negotiated for you. Reminder: As union members covered by our contract, we are very fortunate to receive 1 Sick Day per month. From Nov 1, 2007 to Feb. 1, 2009, current employees will receive 16 Sick Leave days.
If you have a Sick Leave balance at this time, please consider donating all 5 days at once. You may also donate your current Personal Days to the Sick Bank.Any one of us may need a surgery or fall ill that will deplete all of our Annual, Sick, and Personal Leave balances and the Sick Bank program will continue a pay check if that occurs.
As soon as the existing members contribute the 5 days, or more, the sooner this important program is back in operation for all of us and the sooner this is removed as a basis for the Administration to hinder the Negotiation process for our new contract. There has not been any abuse of the program. Those rumors of “abuse” are just not true.
We have had donations of dozens of days from members, from several departments, who have left County employment, without retiring, because they understood the importance of continuing this important program. One donated 50 days; another 18, several others in excess of a dozen days.
To donate days or for more information about the Emergency Sick Bank, click the Sick Bank link below to download the application or call the Unit 9200 office @ 914-995-2151.
The form is also used if you wish to join the Sick Bank program for the first time if you have been a County employee for 13 months.
Thank you.
