have twenty (20) days' accumulated sick leave at the time <br />the catastrophic illness occurs may be permitted up to ten <br />(10) working days' catastrophic leave. Leave under this <br />section shall become effective after all other paid leave <br />is exhausted. During any period of catastrophic illness <br />leave, the employee shall receive compensation at the rate <br />of sixty percent (60%) of his/her regular base pay. <br />A minimum of one (1) year must elapse following the <br />termination of the catastrophic illness leave before an <br />employee may be permitted further catastrophic illness <br />leave. However, if subsequent catastrophic illness occurs <br />within a year following the termination of the previous <br />catastrophic illness leave, an employee may be permitted to <br />use whatever accumulated paid leave he/she has and then <br />whatever catastrophic illness leave he/she was eligible <br />for but did not use. <br />The same principles concerning the administration of the <br />sick leave benefit shall be used for this benefit where <br />applicable. <br />Section 36. Non -Discrimination <br />The City and the Union agree that there shall be no <br />discrimination against any employee because of Union <br />activities or because of race, color, religion, sex, <br />national origin, age, marital status, disability, or sexual <br />orientation defined by applicable Federal and State <br />regulations. <br />Section 37. Refuse Collector Modifications <br />Starting time is 5:30 a.m. Any employee who has not <br />reported in or otherwise contacted his supervisor by 5:30 <br />a.m. will not be allowed to work on that day and will not <br />be paid for that day. <br />The 5:30 a.m. deadline for contacting one's supervisor <br />includes reporting in sick (or reporting other absences <br />which are otherwise eligible for paid leave). <br />If an employee telephones his supervisor prior to 5:30 a.m. <br />and reports that he may be late, he will be allowed to work <br />if he reports in no later than 5:45 a.m. However, any <br />employee who reports in after 5:30 a.m. (but not later than <br />5:45 a.m.) will be dock fifteen (15) minutes pay. (Note: <br />To accommodate those who call to report that they will be <br />late, the telephone in the Sanitation office will be manned <br />between 5:00 and 5:30 a.m.) <br />Time "on the books" (vacation, accumulated time, E8 days, <br />etc) cannot be used in lieu of leave without pay for either <br />of the above situations. <br />32 <br />
