Banking the Sick Leave


Sick leave is a valuable asset to any career employee. When employees are faced with an unforeseen situation, like surgery or an accident, they know their bills and family will continue to be taken care of.  Such is the case with Dwight Raulerson, Rural Carrier for the Sanderson, FL Post Office.

Last July, Dwight fell off a ladder at home and broke both his ankles and both wrist. His recovery has taken months. Because Dwight conserved his sick leave, he is able to be stress free knowing he can take advantage of his sick leave.  

“Dwight did not know he was going be sick or have to use his sick leave, but he knew how important it was to conserve his sick leave. Dwight is currently at home, taking the time to nurture his injuries so he can return to work. That’s the important thing, coming back and being ready. Dwight’s story illustrates the value of banking sick leave!” Michael King – (A)Postmaster, Sanderson, FL
