Incentive Days are sick leave hours which are converted to annual leave hours, on an hour for hour basis.

  • All regular employees on the payroll at the time of conversion, generally at the end of the calendar year, who have been employed from the first day of the first payroll period in each calendar year, through the last day of the twenty-sixth payroll period, shall be eligible for Incentive Days.

  • The minimum hour amount to be converted is four (4) hours.

  • An employee who does not wish to convert his/her remaining sick hours must complete the Sick Leave Conversion Refusal Form (also available from the Lake County Intranet, through the "Forms" Quick Link), and submit that form to the Office of Employee Services.

Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP)

PEHP is an employee account, funded by the County, for use after the employee's separation from the County and specifically for health insurance premiums.

  • To be eligible for PEHP, an employee must be regular full-time or part-time working at least 22.5 hours per week, and have completed twelve (12) months of continuous employment with the Lake County Board of County Commissioners.

  • An amount equal to one per cent (1%) of the employee's regular pay will be contributed by the County to a Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) account.

  • Upon leaving employment, one fourth (1/4) of accrued sick time leave, up to a maximum of 480 hours will also be paid to the employee's PEHP account, if eligibility requirements have been met. Employees having completed ten (10) years of service when leaving employment, will have their PEHP account paid for one-half (1/2) of accrued sick leave, up to a maximum of 960 hours.

  • Upon separation from the County, eligible employees will be able to use the funds in their PEHP account to pay for health insurance premiums.
Sick Leave Bank

    • Regular full-time employees with six (6) months of continuous service.

    • Employees must have a combined balance of forty (40) hours of sick and/or annual leave in order to enroll in the Sick Leave Bank for the first time. The hours will be deducted from the employee's sick leave accrual and will no longer be available to the employee.

    • Employees must donate eight (8) hours sick leave upon enrollment. Thereafter, employees will donate a minimum of eight (8) hours annually, generally during the month of January. Additional hours (to a maximum of 24 hours), will be required of all participants in 8 hour increments, if needed to replenish the bank.
