[Amended 5-23-1977 by L.L. No. 4-1977; 9-12-1977 by L.L. No. 6-1977]
A. Each employee shall be entitled to a credit of 10 days for sick leave
during any year commencing June 1, hereinafter referred to, for the
purpose of this chapter, as the "fiscal year."
(1) If any employee uses none or only a portion of his or her yearly
sick leave during the fiscal year, the balance of his or her sick
leave shall be credited to him or her until a maximum of 120 days
is so credited.
(2) If any employee takes more than 10 days' sick leave during any fiscal year, he or she shall not be compensated for those days in excess of 10 days unless he or she has accumulated credit pursuant to Subsection
A(1), in which event any additional days shall be charged against such credit until the same is completely used.
B. Sick leave shall be granted only when an employee is required to
be absent from his employment by reason of illness. If an employee
shall have used three consecutive days of sick leave, a certificate
from a licensed physician attending the employee shall be submitted
to the department head attesting to his or her illness. Frequent absences
of less than three days, at the direction of the Board, shall require
a physician's certification as to illness.
C. The Village reserves the right to verify the disability of an employee
by requiring the certification of a physician of its choice, in which
event the employee shall submit to such examination which shall be
at the expense of the Village.
[Amended 9-12-1977 by L.L. No. 6-1977]
Upon termination of service for any reason other than discharge for cause, or upon the death in service of any officer or employee, such officer or employee and his or her legal representative shall be entitled to be paid for accumulated sick time based upon the then wage or salary of the officer or employee; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of §
135-4A(1), payment hereunder shall not be made for a period exceeding 90 days of accumulated sick leave.
The word "Board" shall be construed as if it read "Board of
Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale" wherever the
sense of this indenture so requires.
The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale
may, from time to time, fix and establish such additional or supplementary
rules and regulations as it may deem to be necessary to effect the
vacation, sick leave and absence policies set forth in this chapter.
The provisions of §§
135-2 and
135-3 hereof shall be made applicable as of June 1, 1975. The rights of employees under §
135-4 shall be computed from the actual hiring date of Village employees who were Village employees on June 1, 1975, or who were thereafter employed.
Employees of the Highway and Water Departments who are called
back to work by the Superintendent of Public Works or Foreman after
they have completed their normal workday shall be guaranteed a minimum
of four hours' pay and overtime rates. This guaranty shall not
be operative when the employee is asked to stay on after his regular
workday is completed, but the employee shall in that event be paid
the overtime rate for the time actually worked.
