<br />employee's absence, for which benefits are required under the State <br />Workers' Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, paid sick leave will <br />be allowed such employee during the first three (3) days of the <br />statutory waiting period. If the workers' compensation related illness <br />or injury continues past the initial three (3) consecutive days, the <br />employee will have the three (3) used sick days recredited to his or <br />her account, if the employee remains off work longer than 14 days. <br />Paid sick leave will continue until the fourth (4th) day when the City <br />pays the employee workers' compensation benefits for such illness or <br />injury. If the employee does not have sufficient accumulated sick <br />leave at the commencement of such industrial illness or injury, they <br />will be advanced sick leave for this purpose. Subsequently, the City <br />will deduct an equal amount previously advanced from any sick leave <br />accrued by the employee until the total amount is recovered. If the <br />employee terminates before recovery of all advanced sick leave, the <br />City will deduct the unrecovered cost of sick leave from such <br />terminated employee's final paycheck, to the extent possible. <br />Commencing with Council approval of this Agreement, the City may <br />authorize employees to use sick leave or vacation time for approved <br />workers' compensation medical appointments as specified herein. <br />The City may authorize use of such leave for City approved medical <br />appointments whenever such appointments cannot be secured <br /> <br />-40- <br />
