Notwithstanding the above:
1. 
If sick leave is required because of an injury or disability which is covered by Worker's Compensation, then the employee may request sick leave compensation for one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the employee's regular rate of pay less the amount of compensation payments paid to the employee under the Missouri Worker's Compensation Act.
2. 
The employee's sick leave days will be reduced/used proportionately based upon the amounts paid by the City to supplement the compensation paid to the employee under the Missouri Worker's Compensation Act.
3. 
To determine the reduction and use of sick days, the employee's hourly rate shall be determined by dividing the employee's regular annual pay amount by two thousand eighty (2,080). The amount paid by the City to supplement the Missouri Worker's Compensation Act payments shall be divided by the hourly rate to determine the number of hours of sick leave used. The hours of sick leave used will be subtracted from the employee's available sick days. For purposes of these calculations, one (1) sick day shall consist of eight (8) hours.
4. 
Use of sick days under this paragraph shall be subject to all other limitations and requirements set forth in this Section which are not in conflict herewith.
F. 
Abuse of the sick leave privilege can result in dismissal.
G.
