To enroll in the Sick Leave Pool, you must submit an application for membership during the annual October open enrollment period (October 1–31).

Please note: The granting of sick leave pool hours in no way limits the university’s rights to proceed with any employment or disciplinary action. Should an employee transfer, retire, resign, or be terminated from University of Florida employment, they will be removed from the Sick Leave Pool on the date of the personnel action. Any unused hours will be returned to the pool, and the employee will not receive any payment for those unused hours.
