Sick Time FAQs

Hello,

Now that the review period has ended (or is ending) and the benefit year is ending soon (runs September 1st-August 31st), I thought I would remind everyone of the guidelines for sick leave and the number of hours.

  • A supervisor must require a doctor's statement for all sick hours used in excess of 64 hours in a benefit year.  
  • If you use 16 or fewer sick hours during any full benefit year, you will accrue up to 3 personal days (once you have been employed a full year).
  • You may use sick time for a family member.  You must complete a form for each family member that you use sick time for.
  • When you use sick leave for a family member, the same rules apply and if you use in excess of 64 hours, then you must provide a doctor's statement each time sick time is used. 
See Sick Leave for a Family Member FAQs and City of Houston Benefits Page for more information.

If you have any questions, please speak with your Team Leader.

Thanks,

Laurie
