You will be eligible to accrue and use sick leave in accordance with applicable New York and local laws. Generally, this means that you will accrue one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours you work, up to a cap of 56 hours per year. You may use these accrued hours in any 12-month period. Employees are eligible to begin using sick leave may be used as it is accrued, there is no waiting period.

Under New York and local city laws, paid sick leave can be used for the following purposes:

• Physical or mental illness, injury, or health condition of the employee or their family member
• Medical diagnosis, care, or treatment of a mental or physical illness, injury, or condition
• Preventive care (e.g., routine doctor or dental appointments)
• For reasons related to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking involving the employee or a family member (as required under NYC's "safe time" provision)

To use sick leave, you must be scheduled to work an assignment and provide advance notice to Scoot as early as possible, notifying them that you are unable to complete the scheduled assignment and wish to use your accrued sick leave. This request can be made orally, in writing, or by email. Please contact your Scoot Consultant to learn the number of sick leave hours you’ve accrued.

Sick leave will be paid at the employee’s regular rate of pay.

You may use one to eight hours of sick leave per day, depending on your scheduled work hours and accrued leave balance.
