SICK LEAVE/FAMILY ATTENDANCE Employees shall have the option of using sick leave for attendance on family members, or the employee may elect to take leave without pay for attendance on family members. Family members is defined in the City's personnel rules as employee's father, father-in-law, mother, mother-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, wife, husband, child, grandparent or grandchild. 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 esta- blished. In the event such employee applies for and consents to such retirement, then upon the retirement being accomplished, 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 temination, multiplied by a percentage as follows: If employed more than five years, but less then ten - 10% If employed more then ten years, but less then fifteen - 25% If employed more than fifteen years - 50% A regular salaried employee who has worked for the City at least five years and has accumulated sick leave who terminates his/her employment for any reason shall be paid as full compensation for such sick leave as computed in the above paragraph. Members of the General Unit who are granted a service retirement (rather than disability retirement) shall be provided a sum equal to the cash value of seventy-five percent (75%) of the employee's accu- mulated sick leave after thirty (30) 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 of the unit hired on or after January 1, 1987. Nothing herein shall reduce the above enumerated benefits of unit employees, hired prior to January 1, 1987, who thereafter are pro- moted into the Management/Confidential Unit. TUITION REIMBURSEMENT The City agrees to establish a fund in the amount of $1,000 to reim- burse employees for tuition costs incurred for job-related education. 0
