10.2 Sick Leave Usaqe <br /> <br />Sick leave with pay shall be granted to all probationary <br />and permanent full time employees within the competitive <br />service. Sick leave shall not be considered a right <br />which an employee may use in his/her discretion but <br />shall be allowed only as follows: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />In cases of necessity and actual personal sickness <br />or disability of the employee. <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />For medical and dental appointments of the <br />employee, at the discretion of the immediate <br />supervisor. <br /> <br />3) <br /> <br />For the care of or attendance upon the sickness or <br />disability of members of his/her immediate family <br />or for bereavement because of the death of a member <br />of his/her immediate family. A maximum of forty <br />(40) hours per year of sick leave may be used for <br />this purpose. The immediate family shall consist <br />of the spouse, children, parents, brothers, sisters <br />or other individual whose relationship to the <br />employee is that of a dependent or near dependent. <br />The Police Chief shall grant such leave and <br />determine the amount thereof; provided, however, <br />that the Personnel Officer shall first, where <br />necessary, pass upon sufficiency of relationship. <br /> <br />This provision does not apply if the family <br />sickness or disability or the employee's <br />bereavement occurs while the employee is on <br />vacation leave. <br /> <br />An employee eligible for temporary disability payments <br />may use accumulated sick leave in order to maintain <br />his/her regular income; provided, however, that the <br />employee shall be allowed a credit against sick leave to <br />the extent that temporary disability payments are <br />retained by the City. <br /> <br />In order to receive compensation while absent on sick <br />leave the employee shall notify his/her immediate <br />superior or the Personnel Officer prior to or within <br />four (4) hours after the time set for beginning his/her <br />daily duties or as may be specified by the Police Chief. <br />When absence is for more than eight (8) hours, the <br />employee may be required to file a physician's <br />certificate or a personal affidavit with the Personnel <br />Officer stating the cause of the absence. <br /> <br />Memorandum of Understanding <br />Page 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
