• Eight hours of sick time accrual per month
• Bereavement leave, jury duty leave, and voting time off
• Benefit continuation under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), which gives employees and their dependents the opportunity to continue health insurance coverage under SD1’s health plan when a “qualifying event” would normally result in loss of eligibility.
