Sick Leave Bank The Sick Leave Bank (SLB) provides eligible employees who have voluntarily enrolled in the program a way to obtain additional sick leave days after they have exhausted their own accumulated sick leave. The purpose of the SLB is to allow members to be restored to health so they can return to work at DPS. Each eligible employee enrolled in the SLB contributes a specific number of their own sick leave days to the SLB. The number of days available for use by a program member is based upon the specific SLB program. Any employee who wishes to withdraw sick leave days from the SLB must submit a written application to the Health Services Department. SLB days are granted for circumstances requiring five or more days of consecutive absence, due to the member's injury or illness. Click here for more information on Sick Leave Banks.
