Section 7.0 Sick Leave <br /> Sick leave is provided to further the health and safety of each employee as well as aid in the <br /> maintenance of productivity. Sick leave is to be used in cases of actual sickness or injury of the <br /> employee or of a member of his/her immediate family which compels an employee to be absent <br /> from work. Sick leave may also be used for routine dentist and doctor visits as these visits maintain <br /> the health and productivity of the employee. <br /> A full -time employee will accumulate sick leave at a rate of eight (8) hours for each full calendar <br /> month of service. An employee who is in unpaid status for 44 or more hours in a pay period shall <br /> not accrue sick leave for that pay period. <br /> As part of the initial hiring agreement, the City Manager may grant to a new management employee <br /> up to one -half of that employee's sick leave accumulated from the most recent employer. Such sick <br /> leave shall not exceed twenty (20) work days. <br /> The maximum sick leave accrual shall be three hundred (300) days. <br /> Payment for unused sick leave will be granted to full -time regular employees with at least fifteen <br /> (15) years continuous City service at death, retirement or resignation in good standing based on <br /> salary at termination, pursuant to the following schedule. Number of sick leave days accumulated, <br /> multiplied by seven and one -half percent (71/2%), multiplied by the number of whole years of <br /> service, multiplied by the hourly rate at termination. <br /> The above formula figure of seven and one -half percent (71/2%) will be adjusted to ten percent <br /> (10 %) for an employee who terminates City service after completing twenty -five (25) years of <br /> uninterrupted City service by way of death, termination, service retirement or resignation in good <br /> standing with the City. <br /> An employee whose death or permanent disability is a result of an accident which is held to be <br /> compensable by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board will receive payment for unused sick <br /> leave without regard to continuous City service according to the seven and one -half percent (71/2%) <br /> formula. An employee who completed twenty -five (25) or more years of uninterrupted service shall <br /> receive payment for unused sick leave in accordance with the ten percent (10 %) formula as <br /> described in the above paragraph. <br /> Section 8.0 Funeral Leave <br /> In the event of death in the immediate family of a full -time management employee, the employee <br /> shall, upon request to the supervisor, be granted such time off with pay as is necessary to make <br /> arrangements for the funeral and attend same, not to exceed a total of five (5) working days. This <br /> provision does not apply if the death and/or funeral occurs during the employee's paid vacation, or <br /> while the employee is on leave of absence, layoff, sick leave, or any other leave status. <br /> The immediate family of an employee includes wife, husband, child, father. mother, sister, brother, <br /> grandchildren, grandparents, mother -in -law, father -in -law, or step - parent where there is a child - <br /> rearing relationship. <br /> Funeral leave applies only' in instances in which the employee attends the funeral or is required to <br /> make funeral arrangements, but is not applicable for other purposes such as settling the estate of the <br /> deceased.
