SECTION 3: SICK LEAVE 1. ACCRUAL Sick leave with pay shall be granted by the appointing authority at the rate of eight hours for each calendar month of service. Sick leave shall not be considered as a privilege, which an employee may use at his/her discretion, but shall be allowed only in case of necessity and actual sickness or disability. Unused sick leave shall be accumulated at the rate of 96 hours a year for full-time employees. There shall be no limit on the amount that can be accumulated. 2. 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 Human Resources Manager, stating the cause of the absence. 3. 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. Family members include employee's father, father-in-law, mother, mother-in-law, step-parent, brother brother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, wife, husband, child, step -child, grandparent, grandchild or domestic partner. 4. 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% CPMA Comp MOU Expires 063005 10/21/2004 Page 12 of 15
