If you are covered under sick leave legislation, you can log into the\u00a0Creative Circle Timecard Portal<\/a><\/span> to see how much sick leave you have accrued (if any). Just go to the My Data tab and look for your \u201cSick Time Balance.\u201d Although you may begin to accrue and view sick leave as soon as you\u2019re on an assignment, unless it is legally required, sick leave may not be used until the 90th calendar day after your start date with Creative Circle.<\/p>\n

Sick leave cannot be claimed for the same hours that are claimed as regular working hours.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As with all timecards, sick leave requests should be turned in promptly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unused paid sick leave will not be paid out upon termination of an assignment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are rehired within 12 months of the date of your last assignment, any previously accrued but unused paid sick leave will be reinstated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Creative Circle may require reasonable documentation of the reason for requesting sick leave lasting three or more consecutive days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Questions regarding sick leave can be sent to\u00a0payroll@creativecircle.com.<\/a><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
