Verification of State Bank Usage

State law allows management to verify State Bank usage, but we significantly limited verification requirements

• Management must announce a verification period at least two days in advance
• No more than 3 verification periods per year
• Each verification period no more than 10 days long
• Management can request verification only if a Flight Attendant called out sick for more than 3 continuous days (e.g., four-day trip, 2 two-day trips back-to-back, etc.)
• Management will reimburse out of pocket medical costs required to obtain verification
• Flight Attendant has 10 days to provide verification after the first day calling out during a verification period 

Verification includes a note from a healthcare provider or substantiating evidence

• (e.g., court appearance for domestic violence, proof of level 2 or 3 evacuation zone, etc.)

If Flight Attendant does not provide verification within timeframe, sick leave usage will be converted to Management Drop with points and without pay

• Sick leave will be credited back to their State Bank

Any Single Continuous Occurrence of Illness (10 days) beginning in advance of the notice provided and extending into the verification period will be excluded from verification requirements

Verification Examples

Subject to Verification

More than three consecutive days of State Bank usage during a Verification Period

Sick call for 4-day (7-10) State Bank

Sick call for four turns (10, 11, 12, 13) State Bank

Sick call for two 2-days (8-9, 10-11) State Bank

Sick call for two 2-days (9-10, 14-15) State Bank

Point Reduction & Point Values

Currently 1 Quarterly Point Reduction per quarter for a Single Continuous Occurrence of Illness (10 days) when using the CBA Bank

Exchanged for State Bank protections/usage (no points assessed) and Trimester Point Reduction:

• Available State Bank may be used multiple times throughout the year (no points assessed)
• 1 point reduction per trimester for a Single Continuous Occurrence of Illness (10 days) when using the CBA Bank
• Productivity Premium Program (PPP) retention and improvements

All point values (§32.E.3.) and other record improvements (§32.G.) remain the same despite management bargaining priorities (i.e., reduce termination threshold, increase point values, eliminate record improvement, etc.)

Productivity Premium Program (PPP)

Although not part of Section 32, management’s bargaining priority was to eliminate PPP in relation to provisions on paid sick leave and attendance

Increased total payout to $4,000 (currently $2,500)

Restructured to trimester blocks

• State Bank sick leave now counts toward TFP threshold, in addition to Vacation
• 40 TFP threshold per trimester (equivalent increase of 5 TFP per month, to account for State Bank usage)
