At retirement, Battalion Chiefs assigned to a forty (40) hour work week will have their accrued sick leave balance converted to a balance based on the fifty-six (56) hour rate and the retirement sick leave buyout will be paid using the fifty-six (56) hour rate of pay. Pursuant to Section 18.9, an employee may also request family and medical leave if he/she is unable to perform his/her job because of a serious health condition, or needs to care for a child, following birth or placement, or needs to care for a spouse, child or parent who is seriously ill. 18.1.2 Sick leave shall be defined as the non job related absence from work due to illness, bodily injury, exposure to contagious disease, and caring of family members whose illness required the employee's care. 18.1.3 Unused sick leave may be accumulated to maximum sick leave credits of one - thousand two -hundred (1200) hours. For Battalion Chiefs who work a fifty-six (56) hour work week unused sick leave may be accumulated to a maximum sick leave credits of two -thousand four -hundred (2400) hours. 18.1.4 In the event an employee has accumulated the maximum sick leave credits of one -thousand two -hundred (1200) hours (2400 hours for Battalion Chiefs who work a fifty-six (56) hour work week) and the employee becomes so severely ill that he exhausts his/her sick leave, the Human Resources Director may, upon the written recommendation from the employee's department head, authorize additional sick leave to include any sick leave in excess of the one -thousand two -hundred (1200) hours (2400 hours for Battalion Chiefs who work a fifty-six (56) hour work week) maximum which may have been lost due to the maximum limitation; provided, however, that sick leave credits were not accumulated for a period of six (6) months or longer. This provision will also apply to Battalion Chiefs in cases where sick leave balances were decreased due to reassignment from a fifty-six (56) hour to a forty (40) hour work week. 18.1.5 An employee may elect to receive compensation in lieu of sick leave credits for any calendar year (based on the preceding 26 pay periods) by requesting payment of unused sick leave in writing to the Director of Finance on or before December 1 of that year. Payment shall be made at twenty-five (25%) of the value of the unused sick leave, or fifty percent (50%) of the value of the unused sick leave when no more than ten (10) hours of sick leave have been used (24 hours for Shift Battalion Chiefs) for the preceding (26) pay periods at the salary for the year in which the payment is being made.
