Arizona Earned Paid Sick Time

PHX-based Flight Attendants can utilize up to forty (40) hours of paid sick leave annually to cover absences due to personal medical conditions, care for eligible family members, or other qualifying reasons outlined in the Arizona Earned Paid Sick Time Policy.

Every January 1, the Company will provide eligible Flight Attendants with 40 hours of AZ Paid Sick leave for each calendar year, which runs from January 1 to December 31. AZ Paid Sick is not an additional bank of hours. Any sick leave you take will be deducted from your existing sick bank.

If on January 1 you have 40 or more hours in your sick bank, that amount will count as your allotment of Arizona Earned Paid Sick Time for that calendar year. If you have fewer than 40 hours in your sick bank on January 1, the Company will credit your sick leave bank to ensure that you have a total of 40 hours available for that year. This total will also be considered your allotment of Arizona Earned Paid Sick Time. Should the Company credit your sick bank with additional hours on January 1, you will be required to “pay back” the credited hours as you accrue paid sick leave under any applicable Company policy or agreement.

For example, if you have 10 hours in your Company paid sick bank on January 1, the Company will add an additional 30 hours to your sick bank, giving you a total of 40 hours. If you accrue 4.5 sick hours in January, then on February 1, you will still have a total of 40 hours available for AZ Paid Sick (not 44.5 hours), assuming you did not take any sick leave in January. Additional hours of paid sick leave will not be added to your sick bank until you have first accrued an amount equal to the hours the Company credited on January 1.

***If your sick call qualifies for conversion to AZ Sick, it will automatically be recoded from SK to MS, and your negative point will be removed.***

Uniform Dollars

A Flight Attendant will earn uniform dollars based on the number of paid hours in the previous calendar year to be used in the subsequent year.  Each January, the Company will credit Flight Attendant uniform dollars based on the following scale:

The uniform allotment is expected to show in the Lands’ End uniform store by the end of this month.
