Seventy-seven percent of University of Wisconsin System faculty used no sick leave last year, allowing them to convert the time into valuable health insurance credits, according to a state audit released today.
“Most employees can be expected to report using at least some sick leave over a three-year period, but 6,772 unclassified (non-union) staff reported using none from 2003 through 2005,” according to the audit, which recommends that the university adopt better reporting practices.
