of the work day. Waiver of the foregoing reporting requirement can be made by the department <br />head only in specified and unusual circumstances. Absence for illness may not be charged to <br />sick leave not already accumulated. <br /> <br /> In instances when an employee cannot report for work on a scheduled work day, such employee <br />shall comply with call-in rules established by the department head for the work unit in which <br />the employee works. <br /> <br />b. Accrual: An employee holding a full-time position with probationary or permanent status may <br />be allowed a leave of absence from duty without loss of salary on account of sickness or injury. <br />Sick leave with pay is cumulative at the rate of eight (8) hours for each full calendar month of <br />service beginning the first of the calendar month following full-time probationary employment. <br />Employees whose full-time probationary employment begins on the first work day of the month <br />shall accrue sick leave upon completion of that month. Unused sick leave may be accumulated <br />to a total of two thousand (2000) 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 by <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 <br />pay 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 /> <br /> The parties understand and agree that once salary continuation benefits have been exhausted, if <br />applicable, sick leave, compensatory time and part-time PTO leave that have been accrued will <br />be coordinated with other applicable benefits, in that order, to mitigate the financial impact of <br />an employee’s absence. <br /> <br /> An employee who is in unpaid status for 44 or more hours in a given pay period shall not accrue <br />sick leave for such period. <br /> <br />c. Payment: Payment for unused sick leave will be granted to full-time regular employees with at <br />least fifteen (15) years' continuous City service at death, retirement or resignation in good <br />standing based on salary at termination, pursuant to the following schedule: Number of sick <br />leave days accumulated, multiplied by seven and one-half percent (7½%), multiplied by the <br />number of whole years of service, multiplied by the hourly rate at termination. <br /> <br /> The above formula figure of seven and one-half percent (7½%) 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 termination, service retirement or resignation in good <br />standing with the City. <br /> <br />8
