Sick Benefit Bank
The Sick Benefit Bank is a resource available to all regular members of CUPE 951 who are in need of sick time in excess of their annual allotment due to an extended illness, injury or disability. Every member contributes to the fund — each year you will note a small amount of your personal allotment is contributed to the fund — and the Sick Benefit Bank committee uses this fund when members apply using the form below.

The committee will meet regularly every month to consider carefully every application to the Bank. Four signatures will be required to authorize the payment of days to applicants whose applications meet the requirements of the Sick Benefit Bank Policy. The committee will notify in writing all applicants to the Bank of the outcome of their claims. They will report regularly to the membership, make recommendations to the Executive Board for improvements to the Bank, and seek the membership’s approval for any amendments to the Sick Benefit Bank Policy.
