ARTICLE X 10.0 OTHER LEAVES OF ABSENCE 10.1 Sick Leave. When an accepted industrial illness or injury has caused an employee's absence, for which benefits are required under the State Workers' Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, paid sick leave at the prorated amount based on hours worked will be allowed such employee during the first three (3) days of the statutory waiting period. If the workers' compensation related illness or injury continues past the initial three (3) consecutive days, the employee will have the three (3) used sick days recredited to his or her account. Paid sick leave at the prorated amount will continue until the fourth (0) day when the City pays the employee workers' compensation benefits for such illness or injury. If the employee does not have sufficient accumulated sick leave at the commencement of such industrial illness or injury, they will be advanced sick leave for this purpose. Subsequently, the City will deduct an equal amount previously advanced from any sick leave accrued by the employee until the total amount is recovered. If the employee terminates before recovery of all advanced sick leave, the City will deduct the unrecovered cost of sick leave from such terminated employee's final paycheck, to the extent possible. The City may authorize employees to use sick leave, vacation, or compensatory time for approved workers' compensation medical appointments as specified herein. The City may authorize use of such leave for City approved medical appointments whenever such appointments cannot be secured outside the employee's regular workday, and salary continuation or workers' compensation benefits are not available. A. Definition. Except as otherwise provided below, sick leave shall be deemed to mean absence from duty of an employee because of illness, injury, medical, or dental appointment that prevents the employee from performing the duties of his or her position, and shall be deemed to include time in quarantine resulting from exposure to a contagious disease. Pursuant to the California Healthy Workplaces/Healthy Families Act of 2014, sick leave includes diagnosis, care, and treatment of, or preventative care for an employee or an employee's qualified family member and specified purposes for an employee who is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalling. B. Administration. Part Time Civil Service employees shall earn six (6) hours per month of sick leave, for a total maximum annual accrual of 72 hours per, year. 25 25K-27
