What is the rate at which full-time employees accrue sick leave?

• A. Two hours
• B. Three hours
• C. Four hours
• D. Five hours

Answer: (C)

Full-time employees earn sick leave at a fixed amount added to their balance each pay period. The standard rate for this policy is four hours per pay period, which leads to about 104 hours of sick leave per year. This aligns with the typical annual allotment and keeps accrual predictable for budgeting. A smaller rate would yield far less sick leave over the year, while a larger rate would exceed the common annual total, so four hours per period best fits the policy.
