Changes to the Sick Leave for Staff Policy were recently approved by the OSU Board of Regents, effective June 14, 2024.

 

Significant policy changes include:

• • Further defined illness to include mental health.
  • Added foster children within the definition of immediate family and a sick leave provision of up to six weeks (240 hours) for placement/adoption purposes.
  • Removed application for five days of sick leave; replaced with utilization of sick leave upon completion and approval of FMLA paperwork.
  • Added that employees with a sick leave balance of 960 hours may use it as credit towards one year of OSU service in relation to OSU retirement criteria.
  • Clarified that staff should contact University Human Resources for FMLA paperwork.
