10.2 Sick Leave Usage <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 /> 1) In cases of necessity and actual personal sickness <br /> or disability of the employee. <br /> 2) For medical and dental appointments of the <br /> employee, at the discretion of the immediate <br /> supervisor. <br /> 3) 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> Memorandum of Understanding <br /> Page 10 <br />
