ARTICLE 12 - SICK LEAVE <br /> Sick leave is a form of disability insurance that is intended to assist in the prevention of financial <br /> loss during illness or incapacity. <br /> Section 1: <br /> Sick leave is provided. Cumulative sick leave with pay shall accrue to each City employee <br /> actively employed in the City service at the rate of one working day of leave for each calendar <br /> month of the employee's active service. The total accumulation of sick leave shall not exceed <br /> nine hundred sixty (960) hours at full pay. <br /> Section 2: <br /> Employees who, for any purpose, are granted leave of absence with pay shall continue to <br /> accrue sick leave during such leave of absence. Employees heretofore or hereafter laid off for <br /> reasons not discreditable to them and rehired within twelve (12) months, and employees <br /> granted leave of absence without pay shall not accrue sick leave during said lay off or leave of <br /> absence, but, upon resumption of active employment, shall have available the sick leave <br /> accrued at the time of such lay off or leave of absence. <br /> Section 3: <br /> After the probation period of six months, an employee shall be eligible to receive sick leave with <br /> pay at the discretion of the department head, as herein provided, for the following reason only: <br /> Personal illness or physical incapacity to such an extent as thereby to be rendered unable to <br /> perform the duties of his/her position. <br /> Section 4: <br /> Sick leave with pay for a period of three (3) days or less shall be granted upon the <br /> recommendation of the department head after the department head has satisfied <br /> himself/herself that such sick leave is allowable. Sick leave with pay for a period of four (4) <br /> days or more shall be granted only upon the presentation of a written statement by the <br /> employee's personal physician and/or physician representing the City, certifying that the <br /> employee was subject to quarantine. An employee on sick leave shall inform his/her <br /> department head, or cause the department head to be informed forthwith, that he/she is unable <br /> to report for duty and the reasons therefore, and failure to do so without excuse shall be cause <br /> for denial of sick leave pay. <br /> 13 <br />
