In provisions concerning sick leave for certain employees of school districts other than Chicago, provides that if an employee other than a teacher does not use the full amount of annual leave allowed, the unused amount shall be allowed to accumulate to a minimum available leave of 240 (instead of 180) days at full pay, including the leave of the current year. Provides that if an employee other than a teacher is subject to a reduction in force, the employing district shall maintain on its records all accumulated sick leave days, which must be recredited to the employee at the time of recall. Provides that if the employee is not recalled, then the district shall pay the employee, at the expiration of the recall period, the cash value for all accumulated sick leave at the daily rate of pay at the time of the layoff.

17 | the Illinois
Pension Code, as now or hereafter amended, sick | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | leave
provisions not less in amount than 10 days at full pay in | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | each school year.
If any such teacher or employee does not use | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | the full amount of annual leave
thus allowed, the unused amount | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | shall be allowed to accumulate to a minimum
available leave of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | 180 days at full pay, including the leave of the current

2 | amount shall be allowed to accumulate to a minimum available | ||||||
3 | leave of 240 days at full pay, including the leave of the | ||||||
4 | current year. If an employee other than a teacher under this | ||||||
5 | Section is subject to a reduction in force, the employing | ||||||
6 | district shall maintain on its records all accumulated sick | ||||||
7 | leave days, which must be recredited to the employee at the | ||||||
8 | time of recall. If the employee is not recalled, then the | ||||||
9 | district shall pay the employee, at the expiration of the | ||||||
10 | recall period, the cash value for all accumulated sick leave at | ||||||

The | ||||||
15 | school board may require a certificate from a physician | ||||||
16 | licensed in Illinois to practice medicine and surgery in all | ||||||
17 | its branches, an advanced practice nurse who has a written | ||||||
18 | collaborative agreement with a collaborating physician that | ||||||

20 | examinations, or a physician assistant who has been delegated | ||||||
21 | the authority to perform health examinations by his or her | ||||||

other cases. If the school board does require a
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | certificate
as a basis for pay during leave of
less than 3 | ||||||
2 | days, the school board shall pay, from school funds, the
| ||||||
3 | expenses incurred by the teachers or other employees in | ||||||
4 | obtaining the certificate.
| ||||||
5 | If, by reason of any change in the boundaries of school | ||||||
6 | districts, or by
reason of the creation of a new school | ||||||
7 | district, the employment of a
teacher is transferred to a new | ||||||
8 | or different board, the accumulated sick
leave of such teacher | ||||||
9 | is not thereby lost, but is transferred to such new
or | ||||||
10 | different district.
| ||||||
11 | For purposes of this Section, "immediate family" shall | ||||||
12 | include parents,
spouse, brothers, sisters, children, | ||||||
