Hi Deena, There are two employee groups that cover this topic. *Civil Service*
*11.5.12 Accumulated sick leave of up to 16 hours per year can be used by an employee to participate in a personal health maintenance program (e.g., weight control, stress management, stop smoking). An acceptable program is one which is sponsored by, offered by, or accepted by health, medical and fitness/wellness professionals as a health maintenance program. Supervisory approval is needed to schedule sick leave for such purposes.* *Labor-represented* *Accumulated sick leave, as approved by the supervisor, of up to two (2) days per year can be used by an employee to participate in a personal health maintenance program (e.g., weight control, stress management, stop smoking). * Michele On Fri, Aug 19, 2016 at 9:31 AM, Merrill, Deena <[email protected]> wrote: > Good morning, > > > > Does anyone have a policy on granting leave for participation in a > fitness-related program?
