summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
earnings anticipated leaves
Summary:

Claimant argues that the advanced or unearned sick leave credits were borrowed and had to be repaid: therefore, these monies should not be considered as earnings. Argument rejected by the BOR and the Umpire. The system of creating and accumulating credits served as a form of insurance against a time of inability to work. No credits were borrowed. The claimant upon resuming her employment started replacing credits as opposed to repaying them.
