BCPS provides eligible employees the ability to convert a portion of their personal illness absence time to family illness absence time for the documented illness of an immediate family member. Immediate family is defined in the bargaining unit agreements.

If an employee is eligible for FMLA, conversion of personal illness leave runs concurrently with approved FMLA.

For more detailed information regarding conversion of personal illness leave, please review the Conversion of Personal Illness Days to Family Illness Days Leave Requirements and Information Sheet.
