Section 7.0 Sick Leave Sick leave is provided to further the health and safety of each employee as well as aid in the maintenance of productivity. Sick leave is to be used in cases of actual sickness or injury of the employee or of a member of his/her immediate family which compels an employee to be absent from work. Sick leave may also be used for routine dentist and doctor visits as these visits maintain the health and productivity of the employee.
