| How do most private schools deal with sick time? This contract I am reviewing says that if you have to have a sick day, you need a letter from a dr. and they will only pay you 1/2 day for that sick day. Is this common? |

Every school, be it public or private, has its own policies when it comes to sick days.
Here are a couple (public universities):
| Quote: |
1. Certificate from doctors for foreigners appointed by the host institution should be presented when the employed party asks for sick leave. If the sick leaves amount to less than 30 days within one contract term (one year or one academic year), the party employed shall be paid with 100% of the salary. In case the leaves exceed 30 days, the host institution has the right to terminate the contract, or, if the contract is not terminated, the 70% of the salary will be paid until the normal work is resumed.
2. It is the right of the host to approve the employed party�s private affairs leave. The host institution will deduct the salary of the employed party by day. In the contract term (one year or one academic year), the private affairs leaves should not exceed 10 days. The continuous private affairs leave shall be no more than 3 clays, and two day�s salary will deducted for each day thereafter. |
| Quote: |
When asking for sick leave, Party B should produce a doctor�s certification.
His/her salary shall be paid as usual if the sick leave is within 30 days. After 30 days, if Party B still can not resume regular work, Party A has the right to terminate the contract, and this practice should be considered reasonable and legal; if Party A doesn�t terminate the contract, Party B shall receive 50% of his/her salary until the day he/she resumes regular work. |

| Every school is different. First of, alot of schools will make you feel guilty if you even take a sick day. I think most schools require a doctor's note but some don't really enforce it. Most private schools have an on-campus clinic so you can just go there for documentation. As for paying for half the day, that seems okay. Some schools make you make up the classes for any you have missed. |

Yes, policies and npractice vary enormously; you can call yourself lucky if you have full medical cover.
In almost all schools I have worked techers must make up lessons they missed out on account of sick leave taken or hospitalisation. If you put in the same time with your students that you were ill during lessons you will see no deduction being made to your wages. |

My school was the same as what Roger pointed out. If you are sick then you have to make up the class time that was lost when you recover.
If you are sick you have to contact one of the staff members to go to the hospital. You get full reinbursement from the school but doing this.
Anyway that was the policy of the school. |
