§ 86-515. Well day.

(a)

Philosophy. While the county compensates the employee who has legitimate personal and family health problems by the allowance of sick leave, the county also recognizes the value of nonuse of sick leave.

(b)

Award. A well day is a day off with pay awarded to a full-time employee who uses no sick leave during a designated six-month period. A well day shall be defined as a regularly scheduled workday irrespective of scheduled work hours. A well day is a bonus leave day. No deduction shall be made to an employee's sick or annual leave accumulations when a well day is used.

(c)

Use. A well day may be used only with prior approval of the department/division director or his designated representative. The well day must be utilized within the six-month period immediately following the period for which it was awarded. If the well day is not taken within the specified time period, it shall expire and no longer exist. A well day is not available to employees who earn personal leave pursuant to section 86-524 or 86-525.
