Working a twelve and one-half(12.5)hour shift on a regular basis <br /> is defined as being assigned to a twelve and one-half(12.5) hour shift through <br /> the department's regular shift bidding process or administrative assignment. <br /> Employees that do not normally work a twelve and one-half(12.5) hour shift are <br /> not eligible for the twelve and one-half(12.5) hour sick leave accrual.
