Regular part-time employees provided that they average between thirty (30) through thirty-nine (39) hours per week, shall accrue six (6) hours of sick leave per month to a maximum accrual of one-thousand and eighty (1,080.0) hours. 12.3 Sick Leave Usage Sick leave with pay shall be granted to all probationary, regular part-time, and permanent full time employees within the competitive service. Sick leave shall not be considered a right which an employee may use at his discretion but shall be allowed only as follows: 1) In cases of necessity and actual personal sickness or disability of the employee; 2) For medical and dental appointments of the employee, at the discretion of the immediate supervisor; 3) For the care of or attendance upon the sickness or disability of members of his/her immediate family or for bereavement because of the death of a member of his/her immediate family. A maximum of forty hours (40) per year of sick leave may be used for this purpose. The immediate family shall consist of the spouse, children, parents, brothers, sisters or other individual whose relationship to the employee is that of a dependent or near dependent. Effective March 1, 1986, an employee's grandparents shall be considered immediate family for purposes of bereavement leave. The Department Head shall grant such leave and determine the amount thereof; provided, however, that the Personnel Officer shall first, where necessary, pass upon sufficiency of relationship. This provision does not apply if the family sickness or disability or the employee's bereavement occurs while the employee is on vacation leave. An 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. -18- MOU PC E 16/g
