A.
All
full-time City employees shall earn sick leave with full pay at the
rate of one (1) workday for each calendar month of service. Sick leave

be taken in advance of earning the time. Sick leave may be accumulated
up to a maximum of thirty-six (36) days.
2.
An employee who is unable to report for work because of one (1) of
the above reasons shall report the reason for his/her absence to his/her
supervisor within four (4) hours from the time he/she is expected
to report for work. Sick leave with pay shall not be granted unless
such report has been timely made. Documentation may be required of
the employee before any sick leave will be granted or payment made.
In all cases, sick leave with pay in excess of three (3) working days
shall be allowed only after presenting a written statement by a physician
certifying that the employee's condition prevented him/her from appearing
for work.
3.
An employee terminating from City service shall not be allowed the
use of sick leave in the last two (2) calendar weeks of employment.

may receive a leave of absence not to exceed a total of fifteen (15)
calendar days in any federal fiscal year for participation in annual
training in the National Guard or Reserve Armed Forces. Requests for
such leave must be accompanied by a copy of official orders requiring
such training. Compensation for this period of military leave shall
be limited to the amount by which the normal City pay exceeds the
military pay received. A copy of the military pay voucher shall be
submitted prior to authorization for payment to the employee for the
period of leave. Such military training leaves shall not be deducted
from annual leave.

Any permanent employee who is drafted into the military service shall,
upon termination of his/her active service, be entitled to return

received from Workers' Compensation benefits and his/her normal salary
amount for the period of his/her disability without charge against
his/her vacation leave or sick leave, subject to the following conditions:
1.

directly in the performance of the employee's work as provided in
the State Workers' Compensation Act.

If incapacitated for his/her regular assignment, the employee may
be given other duties with the City Government for the period of recuperation.

A physician selected or approved by the City shall determine the
physical ability of the employee to continue working or to return
to work.
