Disability Credits Taken

Once Employees began participating in the Va Sickness and Disability Program any previously held sick leave hours were converted into disability credits. These credits may be used during periods of disability to extend the period of time they receive 100% salary. They may be used to substitute periods of 100% pay for 80% and 60% periods of pay.

When an employee is on disability leave, it is assumed that his work schedule was a standard 8-hour work day.
