Survey results: SSLB is worth the investment
The vast majority of employees who responded to last week’s eNews survey said they had signed up for HISD’s Supplemental Sick Leave Bank (SSLB).
That program, which offers participants up to 30 days of additional paid leave in the event of a severe personal injury or illness, requires interested employees to contribute one day of personal leave to the bank to enroll.
Only about a third of the 85 percent who were enrolled said they had ever had cause to use it. Still, observed one survey-taker, “You never know when it may come in handy.”
For more information about SSLB, please see this related article. The deadline to enroll this summer is Tues., Sept. 3, but another enrollment opportunity will be offered in the fall.
