Student Employees and Sick Time in Workday
Student workers earn sick time based on hours worked accruing .0286 for every hour paid, the
equivalent of 1 hour of sick time for every 35 hours worked. This time is accrued throughout the
student’s time at RISD.
Sick leave will be paid at the Student Employee’s normal hourly rate at the time the leave is taken.
If the reason for the sick leave is foreseeable, the Student Employee must provide at least seven (7)
days advance notice to their supervisor, or if the leave is not foreseeable, the Student Employee must
provide as much notice as is practicable.
