Death Benefits - Clerical, Technical & Security

If a regular employee scheduled to work 20 or more hours each week dies while in active service, salary will be paid up to and including the date of death. In addition, any unused vacation entitlement, and 50% of unused sick time, payable to the estate of the employee.

Additionally, a benefit-eligible employee’s spouse (or, in the absence of a spouse, group term life insurance beneficiary, if no beneficiaries listed the estate) will be paid:

  1. an amount equivalent to one month’s wages, including any holiday or recess days that may fall within the 30-calendar-day period immediately following the death, and
  2. an amount equivalent to 50 % the remaining unused and non-forfeited sick days.

Note: If a staff member has no spouse and assigned different beneficiaries for the basic and supplemental life, the one-month wage and 50% sick time payment will be paid to the basic life beneficiary.
