ACCUMULATED SICK LEAVE AT TERMINATION OF EMPLOYEE Except as otherwise herein stated, accumulated sick leave is lost when the employee is terminated. In no event shall employees who have not worked for the City as regular salaried employees for more than five years be entitled to use sick leave to defer termination of their employment by the City nor shall they be compensated for sick leave upon such termination for any reason including but not limited to retirement. An employee who is permanently disabled from performing the duties of the position shall be retired upon that fact being established. In the event such employee applies for and consents to such retirement, then upon the retirement being accom- plished, the employee shall be compensated for his/her accumulated unused sick leave (if and only if he/she has five years of regular paid City service) by payment in a lump sum. That sum is determined as follows: The number of days of sick leave accrued, multiplied by his/ her gross daily earnings at the time of termination multiplied by a percentage as follows: If employed more than five years but less than ten - 10% If employed more than ten years but less than fifteen - 25% If employed more than fifteen years - 50% Sworn personnel, who by state law are entitled to up to one year of salary while temporarily disabled due to job incurred injuries, shall not be entitled to use sick leave to defer their retirement for disability. Such personnel are not entitled to use sick leave for job -incurred injuries. With regard to such personnel they shall be retired as soon as it is determined that they are permanently dis- abled from performing the duties of their position. Upon it being determined that such a person is permanently so disabled, if he/ she immediately applies for and consents to his/her retirement then, and only then, shall he/she be entitled to payment for his/her accumulated sick leave. Such payment shall be computed as follows: Five to ten years employment - 10% Ten to fifteen years employment - 25% Over fifteen years of employment - 50% A regular salaried employee who has worked for the City at least five years and has accumulated sick leave who terminates his/her employ- ment for any reason shall be paid as full compensation for such sick leave as computed in the above paragraph. The City shall provide members of the unit who are granted a service retirement (rather than a disability retirement), a sum equal to the cash value of seventy-five percent (75%) of the employee's accu- mulated sick leave, after twenty (20) cumulative years of service with the City. The cash value shall be computed at the employee's hourly rate in existence at the time the monies are disbursed. The above enumerated benefits shall be reduced by one-half (1/2) for all employees hired on or after January 1, 1987. Nothing herein shall reduce the above enumerated benefits of rank and file employees, 5
