ARTICLE X <br /> 10.0 OTHER LEAVES OF ABSENCE <br /> 10.1 Sick Leave <br /> A. Definition <br /> The City provides paid sick leave to eligible employees upon verbal or written <br /> request, within the parameters of the law, for the following purposes: <br /> • Diagnosis, care, or treatment of an existing health condition, or preventative <br /> care of, an employee or an employee's qualified family member; <br /> • Specified purposes for an employee who is a victim or domestic violence, <br /> sexual assault, or stalking. <br /> B. Accrual <br /> Each employee shall be entitled to, and shall earn eight (S) hours of sick leave for <br /> each full calendar month of service in which they is employed by the City with full <br /> pay;provided, however, any absence on sick leave for a period of time greater than <br /> fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days in any one (1) calendar month shall not be <br /> considered to be service entitling an employee to earn sick leave as aforesaid. <br /> C. Use of Sick Leave <br /> 1. Authorization for Use <br /> Use of sick leave shall be authorized as follows: <br /> a. Sick leave is not a right which an employee may use at their discretion, but <br /> shall be allowed only in cases of necessity and actual sickness or disability, <br /> as authorized in this article. <br /> b. 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 will be processed <br /> during the first three(3)consecutive days of the statutory waiting period. If <br /> the employee does not have sufficient accumulated sick leave at the <br /> commencement of such industrial illness or injury, they will be advanced <br /> sick leave for this purpose. Subsequently, the City will deduct an equal <br /> amount previously advanced from any sick leave accrued by the employee <br /> until the total amount is recovered. If the employee terminates before <br /> recovery of all advanced sick leave, the City will deduct the unrecovered <br /> cost of sick leave from such terminated employee's final paycheck, to the <br /> 2025 MOU City of Santa Ana&SEIU Full-Time Employees Unit Page 48 <br />
