6.5(4) Sick Leave Usage Ae A full-time management and confidential employee shall be eligible for sick leave with pay. Sick leave shall not be considered a right which an employee may use at his/her discretion, but shall be allowed only as follows: In cases of necessity and actual personal sickness or disability of the employee; For medical and dental appointments of the employee, at the discretion of the immediate supervisor; For the care of, or attendance upon, the sickness or disability of members of the employee's immediate family or for bereavement because of the death of a member of the employee's immediate family. A maximum of forty (40) hours per year of sick leave may be used for this purpose, except that a battalion chief may use fifty-six (56) hours for this purpose. For purposes of this section, the immediate family shall consist of the spouse, children, parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, or other individual whose relationship to the employee is that of a dependent or near dependent. (a) The department head shall grant such leave and determine the amount thereof, provided, however, that the personnel director shall first, where necessary, determine whether the individual is that of a dependent or near dependent to the employee. (b) This provision does not apply if the family sickness or disability, or the employee's bereavement, occurs while the employee is on vacation. A management and confidential employee eligible for temporary disability payments may use accumulated sick leave in order to maintain his/her regular income, provided, however, that the employee shall be allowed a credit against sick leave to the extent that temporary disability payments are retained by the city. - 13 -
