SICK LEAVE REPORTS In order to receive compensation while absent on sick leave, the employee shall notify his/her immediate superior or the City Manager prior to or within four hours after the time set for beginning his/her daily duties, or as may be specified by the City Manager. When absence is for more than three work days, the employee shall file a physician's certificate or a personal affidavit with the City Manager, stating the cause of the absence. FAMILY ATTENDANCE Employees shall have the option of using sick leave for attendance to family members, in an amount not to exceed the amount of six (6) months sick leave accrual, or the employee may elect to take leave without pay for attendance to family members.

ACCUMULATED HOURS AT TERMINATION 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 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 termination, multiplied by a percentage as follows: If employed more than five years, but less than ten 10% If employed ten years, but less than fifteen 25% If employed fifteen years, but less than twenty 50% If employed twenty years or more 75% Employees who are granted a service or disability retirement shall be provided a sum equal to the cash value of 75% of the employee's accumulated sick leave after 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 Fire and Police Chiefs, 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 disabled 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 accumulated sick leave. Such payment shall be computed as described above. Page 10 of 13 MOU Executive Unit 06/20/07 3:30 put
