<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ARTICLE X <br /> <br /> 10.0 OTHER LEAVES OF ABSENCE <br /> <br /> <br /> 10.1 Sick Leave. <br /> <br /> A. Definition. Except as otherwise provided below, sick leave shall be deemed to <br /> mean absence from duty of an employee because of illness, injury, medical, or <br /> dental appointment that prevents the employee from performing the duties of his <br /> or her position, and shall be deemed to include time in quarantine resulting from <br /> exposure to a contagious disease. <br /> <br /> B. Accrual. Each employee shall be entitled to, and shall earn, one (1), eight (8) <br /> hour working day of sick leave for each full calendar month of service in which <br /> he is employed by the City with full pay; provided, however, any absence on sick <br /> leave for a period of time greater than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days in <br /> any one (1) calendar month shall not be considered to be service entitling an <br /> employee to earn sick leave as aforesaid. Subject to the other provisions in this <br /> Article, sick leave shall accrue to the credit of each employee to the extent that it <br /> is not used. <br /> <br /> C. Authorized Only When Necessary. Use of sick leave by City employees shall be <br /> authorized as follows: <br /> <br /> 1. Sick leave is not a right which an employee may use at his or her <br /> discretion, but shall be allowed only in cases of necessity and actual <br /> sickness or disability, or as authorized in Subsection J below. <br /> <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 will be allowed <br /> such employee during the first three (3) days of the statutory waiting <br /> period. If the workers' compensation related illness or injury continues <br /> past the initial three (3) consecutive days, the employee will have the three <br /> (3) used sick days re-credited to his or her account, if the employee <br /> remains off work longer than 14 days. Paid sick leave will continue until <br /> the fourth (4th) day when the City pays the employee workers' <br /> compensation benefits for such illness or injury. If the employee does not <br /> have sufficient accumulated sick leave at the commencement of such <br /> industrial illness or injury, they will be advanced sick leave for this <br /> purpose. Subsequently, the City will deduct an equal amount previously <br /> advanced from any sick leave accrued by the employee until the total <br /> amount is recovered. If the employee terminates before recovery of all <br /> advanced sick leave, the City will deduct the unrecovered cost of sick <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 43 <br /> 25F-45 <br />
