Earned Sick Time
As a result of the ruling from the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, resulting from implementation of the Massachusetts Earned Sick Time Law, 免除支付联邦保险贡献法案(FICA)税的学生可以免除累积和使用病假. During the academic year, most BC students are exempt from paying FICA, so they are exempt from earning and using earned sick time.
However, during the summer, most BC students do pay FICA tax; therefore they are able to accrue, use, 并将带薪病假延续到下一个暑假的学生就业期.
International students may be exempt from FICA, 在这种情况下,他们将没有资格在夏季获得病假, 就像大多数学生在学年期间没有资格获得FICA豁免一样. However, they can check their pay stubs as to whether they pay FICA, or they can contact the Human Resources Service Center for assistance.

For the weekly student payroll, earned sick time hours that were used will be reported through Kronos, as is currently done for many regular employees. In addition, 带薪病假将100%记入员工工作记录中当前部门的人力资源账户.

如果一个学生雇员被免除了FICA税,那么这个雇员就不受病假法的约束. If the student employee is covered by the FICA tax withholding requirement, such as during the summer, the employee must be allowed to accrue and use sick time. In addition, 学生雇员只有在受病假法保护的期间才有资格使用累积病假, so that a student is not entitled to use sick time accrued in the summer during the academic year; and, 理由是,在学年期间,学生是免税的,在免税期间无权享受该法律规定的任何福利.
