it is understood that the burden of proof to qualify for sick leave with pay is placed upon the employee. Sick leave shall not be granted to an employee who is absent from duty due to illness or injury incurred while self-employed or working for an employer other than the City of San Leandro. The benefits provided under this section shall not be available to employees whose absence is caused by sickness or injury arising within the course and scope of City employment. An employee who takes a leave of absence without pay for a period in excess of fifteen (15) calendar days shall not accrue sick leave for such period. An employee who is in unpaid status for 44 or more hours in a pay period shall not accrue sick leave for that pay period. Except as hereinafter provided, payment for unused sick leave will be granted to full-time regular employees who are represented by the San Leandro Police Officer's Association with at least fifteen (15) years' continuous City service, including full-time service in an annexed jurisdiction, at termination, retirement or resignation in good standing based on salary at termination pursuant to the following schedule: Number of sick leave days accumulated, multiplied by seven and one-half percent (7'/a%), multiplied by the number of whole years of service, multiplied by the hourly rate at termination. The above formula figure of seven and one-half percent (7'/z%) will be adjusted to ten percent (10°Io) for an employee who terminates City service after completing twenty-five (25) years of uninterrupted City service by way of termination, service retirement or resignation in good standing with the City. Effective March 1, 2002, upon an employee's retirement, sick leave may be used as service credit on an hour for hour basis, or cash in accordance with the above-mentioned formula. Actively employed employees formally represented by the San Leandro Police Officers' Association who die or are permanently disabled as a result of an accident which is held to be compensable by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board will receive payment for unused sick leave according to the seven and one-half percent (7 ~/z%) formula above without regard to length of continuous City service. Section 15. Funeral Leave In the event of death in the immediate family of an employee who has one (1) or more years of continuous service with the City, the employee shall, upon request to the supervisor, be granted such time off with pay as is necessary to make arrangements for the funeral and attend same, not to exceed three (3) workdays; additional funeral leave may be granted, not to exceed a total of five (5) calendar days when such death and/or funeral is outside of the nine (9) Bay Area counties. This provision does not apply if the death and/or funeral occurs during the employee's paid vacation, or while the employee is on leave of absence, layoff, sick leave, or any other leave status. Funeral leave applies only in instances in which the employee attends the funeral or is required to make funeral arrangements, but is not applicable for other purposes such as settling the estate of the deceased. It is understood, however, that leave, as provided in the preceding paragraph, may be granted to commence prior to the decease of a member of the employee's immediate family. Such paid absence shall be charged to death leave, with full salary payment permitted upon the favorable 11
