Employees may use sick leave with the approval of their department heads for absence due to illness, injury, exposure to contagious disease and illness in the immediate family. The appointing authority of each appointing unit shall require an employee to furnish a satisfactory written signed statement to justify the use of sick leave. If absence due to illness exceeds three (3) days, or three (3) tours in the case of fire fighters, a statement certifying the nature of the illness from a licensed physician shall be required to justify the use of sick leave.
