In the past, if you did not use your personal leave days during the school year, they were converted to accumulated sick leave. (As is indicated in the above language, that will continue to be the case if you do not use your personal leave and the accumulation reaches the maximum of 5 days...something that could happen for the first time next year.)

Since this is the first year for implementation of the new language, your available personal leave should be 4 days (if you did not use any personal leave days last year), 3 days (if you used one personal leave day last year), or 2 days (if you used both personal leave days last year.)

The reason I bring this up at this time is that your September 15th paycheck should show the correct available amount of personal leave days...as well as the correct available sick leave amount. I received notice from the central office on Thursday that the figures had been updated...and the review of one member's paystub on Friday would seem to confirm that.
