Section 17. Catastrophic Illness Leave The objective of this section is to complement the City's illness protection program for employees by improving health benefits in instances of catastrophic illness, and thereby aid employees to do better work. An employee holding afull-time position with permanent status who has completed two (2) full years of continuous service shall be eligible for the catastrophic illness leave benefit upon receiving a prior favorable recommendation therefore from the Police Chief and only upon the specific approval of the City Manager. To be eligible for leave under this section, such employee must be unable to work at the position or any less demanding position to which assigned by the Police Chief, and must have exhausted all accumulates sick leave, vacation, holiday, overtime and all other accumulated leave or pay benefits. Upon receiving prior approval, an employee shall be allowed catastrophic leave up to a total of one-half (1/2) of the accumulated sick leave the employee had when the catastrophic illness occurred to a maximum catastrophic leave of fifty (50) workdays; an employee who does not have twenty (20) days' accumulated sick leave at the time the catastrophic illness occurs maybe permitted up to ten (10) workings days' catastrophic leave. Leave under this section shall become effective after all other paid leave is exhausted. During any period of catastrophic illness leave, the employee shall receive compensation at the rate of sixty percent (60%) of regular base pay. A minimum of one (1) year must elapse following the termination of the catastrophic illness leave before an employee may be permitted further catastrophic illness leave. However, if subsequent catastrophic illness occurs within a year following the termination of the precious catastrophic illness leave, an employee may be permitted to use whatever accumulated paid leave such employee has and then whatever catastrophic illness leave the employee was eligible for but did not use. The same principles concerning the administration of the sick leave benefit shall be used for this benefit where applicable. Sectiou 18.
