§ 87785 Community College Sick Leave Transfer

Key Takeaways

  • •If a teacher or professor from a community college gets a permanent job in the chancellor’s office, they can bring their saved sick days with them.
  • •The number of sick days they can bring is based on how many they would have earned in the new job, not the old one.
  • •The rules for how sick days are calculated are the same as in another law (Section 87782).

Example

A professor at a community college has saved up 30 sick days. They get a new permanent job in the chancellor’s office.

The professor can bring their saved sick days to the new job, but only as many as they would have earned in the chancellor’s office. If the new job allows only 20 sick days, they can bring 20, not 30.
