Definition. Except as otherwise provided below, sick leave shall be deemed to <br />mean absence from duty because of illness, injury, medical, or dental appointment <br />that prevents the employee from performing the duties of their position, and shall <br />be deemed to include time in quarantine resulting from exposure to a contagious <br />disease. <br />B. Accrual. Each employee shall be entitled to, and shall earn, one (1), eight (8) hour <br />working day of sick leave for each full calendar month of service in which they are <br />employed by the City with full pay; provided, however, any absence on sick leave <br />for a period of time greater than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days in any one <br />(1) calendar month shall not be considered to be service entitling an employee to <br />earn sick leave. Subject to the other provisions in this Article, sick leave shall <br />accrue to the credit of each employee to the extent that it is not used. <br />C. Authorized Only When Necessary. Use of sick leave by City employees shall be <br />authorized as follows: <br />1. Sick leave shall be allowed only in cases of necessity and actual sickness <br />or disability, or as authorized in Section 11.1(J). <br />2. When an accepted industrial illness or injury has caused an employee’s <br />absence, for which benefits are required under the State Workers’ <br />Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, paid sick leave shall be allowed <br />such employee during the first three (3) days of the statutory waiting period. <br />If the workers’ compensation related illness or injury continues past the <br />initial three (3) consecutive days, the employee shall have the three (3) used <br />sick days recredited to their account if the employee remains off work <br />longer than fourteen (14) days. Paid sick leave shall continue until the <br />fourth (4th) day when the City pays the employee workers’ compensation <br />benefits for such illness or injury. If the employee does not have sufficient <br />accumulated sick leave at the commencement of such industrial illness or <br />injury, they shall be advanced sick leave for this purpose. Subsequently, <br />the City shall deduct an equal amount previously advanced from any sick <br />leave accrued by the employee until the total amount is recovered. If the <br />employee terminates before recovery of all advanced sick leave, the City <br />shall deduct the unrecovered cost of sick leave from such terminated <br />employee’s final paycheck, to the extent possible. <br />The City may authorize employees to use sick leave, vacation, or <br />compensatory time for approved workers’ compensation medical <br />11.1
