14.4 Employees shall be allowed to sell up to 120 hours of vacation per year. The conversion will be based upon the hourly rate at the time of the sell back. Time may be sold twice annually in June and December. Section 15. Sick Leave The object of sick leave 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 is not a right, which an employee can use at his or her discretion, but a privilege, which can be allowed only in case of actual sickness, or non-job-incurred injury of such employee, or of such employee's immediate family, which compels the employee to be absent from work. In order to qualify for paid sick leave, notification must be given to the work unit supervisor as soon as practicable, but at least thirty (30) minutes prior to the start of the regular work day. Waiver of this reporting requirement can be made by the Police Chief only, and only in specific unusual circumstances. Absence for illness may not be charged to sick leave not already accumulated. An employee holding a full-time position with probationary or permanent status may be allowed a leave of absence from duty without loss of pay on account of sickness or injury. Sick leave with pay is cumulative at the rate of one (1) workday for each month of service beginning at the time of full-time probationary employment. Unused sick leave may be accumulated to a total of two thousand four hundred(2400)hours.

The City Manager may also require that the evidence submitted by the employee be 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. The benefits provided under this section shall not be available to employees whose absence is caused by sickness or injury arising within the course and scope of City employment. An employee who is in unpaid status for 44 or more hours in a pay period shall not accrue sick leave for that pay period. Except as hereinafter provided, payment for unused sick leave will be granted to full-time regular employees who are represented by the San Leandro Police Officer's Association with at least fifteen (15) years' continuous City service, including full-time service in an annexed 12
