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