standing with the City. An employee whose death or permanent disability is a result of an accident which is held to be compensable by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board will receive payment for unused sick leave without regard to continuous City service according to the 7 1/2% formula. An employee who completed 25 or more years of uninterrupted service shall receive payment for unused sick leave in accordance with the 10% formula as described in the above paragraph. In order for Police Services Aide and Administrative Specialist -Police employees to qualify for paid sick leave, notification must be given to the work unit supervisor as soon as is 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. Section 9. Maternity Leave Such leave shall be in accordance with applicable State and/or Federal law. Section 10. Funeral Leave In the event of death in the immediate family of an employee who has one (1) or more years of continuous service with the City, the employee shall, upon request to his/her supervisor, be granted such time off with pay as is necessary to make arrangements for the funeral and attend same, not to exceed three (3) work days; additional funeral leave may be granted, not to exceed a total of five (5) calendar days when such death and/or funeral is outside of the nine (9) Bay Area counties. This provision does not apply if the death and/or funeral occurs during the employee's paid vacation, or while the employee is on leave of absence, layoff, sick leave, or any other leave status. The immediate family of an employee includes wife, husband, child, father, mother, sister, brother, grandparents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, or stepparent where there is a child -rearing relationship. Funeral leave applies only in instances in which the employee attends the funeral or is required to make funeral arrangements, but is not applicable for other purposes such as settling the estate of the deceased. It is understood, however, that leave, as provided in the preceding paragraph, may be granted to commence prior to the decease of a member of the employee's immediate family or where death appears imminent. 11
