Interested in using a combination of both methods?
You can do this under certain circumstances.
New BOLI rules say: “an employer may award sick time on an accrual basis for part-time or temporary employees, while front-loading sick time for full-time employees, if it customarily maintains different employment classifications for part-time, temporary, and full-time employees.”
