SECTION 6: (a) An employee may have the option of using a personal day as a day of <br /> extended vacation, with prior approval of the Chief of Police or his designee. <br /> (b) An employee may have the option of using one week of his vacation in <br /> increments of less than one week; for example, one or two days at a time. An <br /> employee will give the supervisor at least forty-eight (48) hours advance notice <br /> in writing. In an emergency situation verbal communication with the <br /> Supervisor is appropriate and may justify waiving advance notification. <br /> ARTICLE 19: <br /> SICK LEAVE <br /> SECTION 1: An employee shall be granted sick leave for personal illness or injury as follows: <br /> a) Paid sick leave shall be earned and accumulated at the rate of four and six-tenths <br /> (4.6) hours for every eighty (80) hours paid, excluding overtime and may accumulate <br /> such sick leave to an unlimited amount; <br /> b) Pay for sick leave shall be at the employee's straight time hourly rate (or portion <br /> thereof if absent for less than a full day); <br /> c) If an employee is absent on sick leave for more than three (3) consecutive work days, <br /> the Employer shall require the employee to present a physician's report attesting to <br /> the employee's incapacity and that the employee was under a doctor's care and is <br /> able to return to work. The Employer will review the attendance records of <br /> employees periodically and at least once in each three (3) month period. If it believes <br /> that an employee is developing an attendance problem, it will notify the employee in <br /> writing that credible medical evidence will be required for absences of three (3) days <br /> or less. When an employee's record becomes satisfactory by going three (3) months <br /> without an absence, the requirement for such medical evidence for short term <br /> absence will be removed, and the employee will be notified in writing. <br /> d) Employees may use up to fifteen(15) work days per year of earned and accumulated <br /> sick leave if necessitated by illness in the employee's immediate family. However, if <br /> an employee uses more than six (6) sick work days per calendar year for this <br /> purpose, the Employer may require that the employee provide a certificate from the <br /> "immediate family" member's doctor(s), explaining the need and purpose of the <br /> employee's absence. For purposes of this subsection, "immediate family" shall be <br /> interpreted to include: spouse, children, parents of the employee - regardless of the <br /> place of residence, and other relatives living within the employee's household. <br /> e) When an employee with five (5) or more years of service retires, having received <br /> P.E.R.S. pension and having accumulated sick leave time, the retiring employee may <br /> convert one-half(1/2) of the accumulated sick leave time to pay on the basis of his <br /> rate of pay at the time of retirement, but the maximum amount paid shall not exceed <br /> one thousand (1,000) hours. <br /> f) An employee should make an effort to schedule medical and dental appointments for <br /> himself and his family members during non-work hours. <br /> 15 <br />
