§ 88199 Nonacademic Employee Sick Leave

• •Community colleges can let non-teaching staff take time off if they get sick, hurt, or have to quarantine because of work.
• •The college can choose to pay them during this time off, but they don’t have to.
• •The pay amount is decided by the college, not by a fixed rule.

A janitor at a community college gets the flu after cleaning a classroom where sick students were. The college lets them stay home and still pays them half their normal pay.

The college can give paid time off to non-teaching staff like janitors if they get sick or hurt, even if it’s not directly because of work. The college picks how much to pay them.
