(a) Sick leave shall be defined as an absence with pay necessitated by: 1. Illness or injury to the employee. 2. Exposure by the employee to a contagious disease communicable to other employees; or 3. Illness, injury, or death in the employee's immediate family (For the purposes of Sick Leave, immediate family is defined as spouse, child(ren) or stepchild(ren) where spouse and/or children reside with the employee). (b) All permanent full-time employees shall accumulate sick leave at the rate of four and six-tenths (4.6) hours for every eighty (80) hours worked, submitted and approved, and may accumulate such sick leave to an unlimited amount. However, at no time shall the number of sick leave hours accumulated exceed one hundred twenty (120) hours per year. (c) Employees covered under this section shall notify the employer of such absence and the reason therefore no later than one (1) hour after the start of the work day for which the employee is scheduled to report with the exception of safety personnel who shall report by their respective departmental rules and regulations. Before an absence may be charged against accumulated sick leave, the affected employee's department head, or Mayor in the case of a department head, may require proof of illness, injury, or death in the family as maybe satisfactory to him, or may require the employee to be examined by a physician designated by and paid for by the employer. In any event, an employee absent for more than two (2) work days must supply a physician's report to be eligible for paid sick leave, if requested by that employee's department head. (d) If the employee fails to submit adequate proof of illness, injury, or death in the family, or in the event that upon such proof as is submitted or upon the request of medical examination, the department head finds there is not satisfactory evidence of illness, injury or death in the family sufficient to justify the employee's absence, such leave may be considered an unauthorized absence and shall be without pay.
