SLPMA 20 - 22 6 <br />4.2 Sick Leave: Sick leave is a paid leave. Sick leave is to be used in cases of actual <br />sickness or injury of the employee or of a member of his/her immediate family which <br />compels an employee to be absent from work. To qualify for paid sick leave, an <br />employee must notify his/her supervisor as soon as possible, but no later than thirty <br />minutes prior to the start of the work day. Sick leave may also be used for routine <br />dentist and doctor visits as these visits maintain the health and productivity of the <br />employee. <br /> <br /> The immediate family of an employee includes the employee’s spouse, registered <br />domestic partner, children, stepchildren, parents, grandparents and step parents, <br />where there was a child-rearing relationship, who are permanent household members <br />and whose well-being is dependent on the employee’s care as defined in the <br />Personnel Rule X, Section 2, Sick Leave. <br /> <br /> A full-time employee will accumulate sick leave at a rate of eight (8) hours for each <br />full calendar month of service. An employee who is in unpaid status for 44 or more <br />hours in a pay period shall not accrue sick leave for that pay period. <br /> <br /> As part of the initial hiring agreement, the City Manager may grant to a new <br />management employee up to one-half of that employee’s sick leave accumulated <br />from the most recent employer, to a maximum of 160 hours. <br /> <br /> The maximum sick leave accrual shall be 2,400 hours (300 days). <br /> <br /> 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 <br />good standing based on salary at termination, pursuant to the following schedule. <br />Number of sick leave days accumulated, multiplied by seven and one-half percent <br />(7½%), multiplied by the number of whole years of service, multiplied by the hourly <br />rate at termination. <br /> <br /> The above formula figure of seven and one-half percent (7½%) will be adjusted to ten <br />percent (10%) for an employee who terminates City service after completing twenty- <br />five (25) years of uninterrupted City service by way of termination, service retirement <br />or resignation in good standing with the City. <br /> <br /> Upon an employee’s retirement, sick leave may be used as: (1) service credit on an <br />hour for hour basis, (2) cash in accordance with the above-mentioned formula; or (3) <br />any combination of service credit and cash as requested by the employee. The <br />combination of sick leave hours converted to service credit and sick leave hours <br />cashed out shall never exceed the total number of accrued sick leave hours. <br /> <br /> An employee whose death or permanent disability is a result of an accident which is <br />held to be compensable by the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board will receive <br />payment for unused sick leave without regard to continuous City service according to <br />the seven and one-half percent (7½%) formula. An employee who completed twenty- <br />five (25) or more years of uninterrupted service shall receive payment for unused sick <br />leave in accordance with the ten percent (10%) formula as described in the above <br />paragraph. <br />29
