Sick Leave and Call-In The object of this section is to provide orderly methods of furthering the health and safety of each employee as well as aiding in the maintenance of productivity. Sick leave, under this rule, is not a right which an employee can use at his/her discretion, but a privilege which can be allowed only in cases of actual sickness or injury of such employee or of a member of his/her immediate family which compels an employee to be absent from work. a. Call-In: To qualify for paid sick leave, an employee must notify his/her supervisor as soon as possible after the beginning of the work day, but no later than thirty (30) minutes after the start of the work day. Waiver of the foregoing reporting requirement can be made by the department head only in specified and unusual circumstances. Absence for illness may not be charged to sick leave not already accumulated. In instances when an employee cannot report for work on a scheduled work day, such employee shall comply with call-in rules established by the department head for the work unit in which the employee works. b. Accrual: An employee holding a full-time position with probationary or permanent status may be allowed a leave of absence from duty without loss of salary on account of sickness or injury. Sick leave with pay is cumulative at the rate of eight (8) hours for each full calendar month of service beginning the first of the calendar month following full-time probationary employment. Employees whose full-time probationary employment begins on the first work day of the month shall accrue sick leave upon completion of that month. Unused sick leave may be accumulated to a total of two thousand(2000)hours. In the event employee absences from duty are deemed by the City Manager to be the result of concerted activity, any employee claiming sick leave with pay shall be required to provide a doctor's certificate stating the nature of the sickness or injury, the name and signature of the attending physician, the time and date the employee was examined by the physician, and a certification that the disability was of such severity as to prevent the employee from performing the job. The City Manager may also require that the evidence submitted by the employee by reviewed by a physician selected by the City and may require a physical examination by such physician at the City's expense. In those instances where the City Manager requires that this procedure be followed, 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. 8
