32 Local 21/SLCEA Memorandum of Understanding January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2024 arising from theft or catastrophic damage. It is understood that the City may institute reasonable rules for the purpose of limiting claims under this tool insurance. These rules shall provide for, but not be limited to, tool inventories, audit of tool inventories, restrictions on removal of tools from the automotive shop and requirements for the proper safeguarding of tools by the employees, which includes securement and lock-up of tools at the end of each working period. Employees regularly assigned to the Public Works Equipment Section, who are required to provide and use their own tools shall be reimbursed by the City for broken, worn out, and/or technologically obsolete tools, to a maximum of five hundred fifty dollars ($550.00) per fiscal year. Such reimbursement shall be paid once each fiscal year only upon submission of acceptable justification and receipts to the Public Works Services Director. Section 38. Catastrophic Illness Leave The objective of this section is to allow donation of accrued time to affected employees, so that they can remain in a paid status for a longer period of time, thus partially ameliorating the financial impact of the illness, injury or condition. An employee holding a full-time position with permanent status who has completed one (1) year of continuous service shall be eligible for the catastrophic illness leave benefit upon receiving a prior favorable recommendation therefore from the department head concerned and only upon the specific approval of the City Manager.

Immediate family member for this section is defined as the employee's spouse/registered domestic partner, minor children/step-children/dependents of registered domestic partner (18 years of age or younger), who live in the household. Eligible employees may receive up to a maximum of 1,000 hours of donated leave benefits from full-time employees due to a catastrophic illness. Employee can utilize up to 500 hours of donated sick leave initially. Under extraordinarily desperate conditions, a one-time additional increment of up to 500 hours of accrued vacation leave may be approved by the City Manager. The combination of all such donations would result in time away from work not to exceed twelve months in duration per incident (whether such leave is taken continuously or intermittently). A minimum of one (1) year must elapse following the termination of the catastrophic illness leave before an employee may be permitted further catastrophic illness leave.
