6 SLPMA MOU 2023-2028 Payment for unused sick leave will be granted to full-time regular employees with at least fifteen (15) years continuous City service at death, retirement or resignation in good standing based on salary at termination, pursuant to the following schedule. Number of sick leave days accumulated, multiplied by seven and one-half percent (7½%), multiplied by the number of whole years of service, multiplied by the hourly rate at termination. The above formula figure of seven and one-half percent (7½%) will be adjusted to ten percent (10%) for an employee who terminates City service after completing twenty-five (25) years of uninterrupted City service by way of termination, service retirement or resignation in good standing with the City. Upon an employee’s retirement, sick leave may be used as: (1) service credit on an hour for hour basis, (2) cash in accordance with the above-mentioned formula; or (3) any combination of service credit and cash as requested by the employee. The combination of sick leave hours converted to service credit and sick leave hours cashed out shall never exceed the total number of accrued sick leave hours. 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 seven and one- half percent (7½%) formula. An employee who completed twenty-five (25) or more years of uninterrupted service shall receive payment for unused sick leave in accordance with the ten percent (10%) formula as described in the above paragraph. 4.3 Administrative Leave: Effective January 1 of each year, SLPMA members will receive 80 hours of Administrative Leave to be used during the calendar year. These hours cannot be carried over from year to year. Any hours not used within the calendar year will be lost and cannot be cashed out. Employees hired or promoted into SLPMA after July 1 shall receive Administrative Leave prorated based on the number of pay periods remaining in the calendar year. 4.4 Funeral Leave. In the event of death in the immediate family of a full-time management employee, the employee shall, upon request to the supervisor, be granted such time off with pay as is necessary to make arrangements for the funeral and attend same, not to exceed a total of five (5) working days (equivalent to 40 hours). 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, stepchild, father, mother, sister, brother, grandchildren, grandparents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, or step-parent 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 death of a member of the employee’s immediate family or where death appears imminent. 4.5 Pregnancy Disability Leave, Family Medical Leave & Parental Leave. Such leaves shall be in accordance with City Administrative Procedure 1600, Family and Medical Leave Request Process; Administrative Procedure 1630, Pregnancy Disability Leave Process, and applicable State and/or Federal laws.
