Section 8. Sick Leave and Call-In <br />The object of this section is to provide orderly methods <br />of furthering the health and safety of each employee as <br />well as aiding in the maintenance of productivity. <br />Sick leave, under this rule, is not a right which an <br />employee can use at his/her discretion, but a privilege <br />which can be allowed only in cases of actual sickness or <br />injury of such employee or of a member of his/her <br />immediate family which compels an employee to be absent <br />from work. <br />To qualify for paid sick leave, an employee must notify <br />his/her supervisor as soon as possible after the <br />beginning of the work day, but no later than thirty ( 3 0 ) <br />minutes after the start of the work day. Waiver of the <br />foregoing reporting requirement can be made by the <br />department head only in specified and unusual <br />circumstances. Absence for illness may not be charged to <br />sick leave not already accumulated. <br />In instances when an employee cannot report for work on a <br />scheduled work day, such employee shall comply with call- <br />in rules established by the department head far the work <br />unit in which the employee works. <br />An employee holding a full-time position with <br />probationary or permanent status may be allowed a leave <br />of absence from duty without loss of salary on account of <br />sickness or injury. Sick leave with pay is cumulative at <br />the rate of eight (8) hours for each full calendar month <br />of service beginning the first of the calendar month <br />following full-time probationary employment. Employees <br />whose full-time probationary employment begins on the <br />first work day of the month shall accrue sick leave upon <br />completion of that month. Unused sick leave may be <br />accumulated to a total of nineteen hundred and twenty <br />(1920) hours. <br />In the event employee absences from duty are deemed by <br />the City Manager to be the result of concerted activity, <br />any employee claiming sick leave with pay shall be <br />required to provide a doctor's certificate stating the <br />nature of the sickness or injury, the name and signature <br />of the attending physician, the time and date the <br />employee was examined by the physician, and a <br />certification that the disability was of such severity as <br />to prevent the employee from performing the job. The <br />City Manager may also require that the evidence submitted <br />12 <br />
