<br />12 <br /> <br /> <br />14.4 Employees shall be allowed to sell up to 80 hours of vacation per year. Time may be sold <br />twice annually in June and December. <br /> <br />Section 15. Sick Leave <br /> <br />The object of sick leave is to provide orderly methods of furthering the health and safety of each <br />employee as well as aiding in the maintenance of productivity. <br /> <br />Sick leave is not a right, which an employee can use at his or her discretion, but a privilege, <br />which can be allowed only in case of actual sickness, or non job-incurred injury of such <br />employee, or of such employee's immediate family, which compels the employee to be absent <br />from work. <br /> <br />In order to qualify for paid sick leave, notification must be given to the work unit supervisor as <br />soon as practicable, but at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the start of the regular work day. <br />Waiver of this reporting requirement can be made by the Police Chief only, and only in specific <br />unusual circumstances. Absence for illness may not be charged to sick leave not already <br />accumulated. <br /> <br />An employee holding a full-time position with probationary or permanent status may be allowed <br />a leave of absence from duty without loss of pay on account of sickness or injury. Sick leave <br />with pay is cumulative at the rate of one (1) workday for each month of service beginning at the <br />time of full-time probationary employment. Unused sick leave may be accumulated to a total of <br />two thousand four hundred (2400) hours. <br /> <br />In the event employee absences from duty are deemed by the City Manager to be the result of <br />concerted activity, any employee claiming sick leave with pay shall be required to provide a <br />doctor's certificate stating the nature of the sickness or injury, the name and signature of the <br />attending physician, the time and date the employee was examined by the physician, and a <br />certification that the disability was of such severity as to prevent the employee from performing <br />the job. The City Manager may also require that the evidence submitted by the employee be <br />reviewed by a physician selected by the City and may require a physical examination by such <br />physician at the City's expense. In those instances where the City Manager requires that this <br />procedure be followed, it is understood that the burden of proof to qualify for sick leave with pay <br />is placed upon the employee. <br /> <br />Sick leave shall not be granted to an employee who is absent from duty due to illness or injury <br />incurred while self-employed or working for an employer other than the City of San Leandro. <br />The benefits provided under this section shall not be available to employees whose absence is <br />caused by sickness or injury arising within the course and scope of City employment. <br /> <br />An employee who is in unpaid status for 44 or more hours in a pay period shall not accrue sick <br />leave for that pay period. <br /> <br />Except as hereinafter provided, payment for unused sick leave will be granted to full-time <br />regular employees who are represented by the San Leandro Police Officer's Association with at <br />least fifteen (15) years' continuous City service, including full-time service in an annexed <br />jurisdiction, at termination, retirement or resignation in good standing based on salary at
