Any <br />such additional sick leave authorized by the Human Resources <br />Director shall not exceed the number of sick leave hours the <br />employee could accrue in a six (6) month period. <br /> <br />18.1.5 Credit for Unused Sick Leave <br /> <br />18.1.5.1 <br /> <br />An employee may elect to receive compensation in <br />lieu of sick leave credits for any calendar year (based <br />on the preceding 26 pay periods) by requesting <br />payment of unused sick leave in writing to the <br />Director of Finance on or before December 1, of that <br />year. Payment shall be made at twenty-five percent <br />(25%) of the value of the unused sick leave , or fifty <br />percent (50%) if no more than 24 hours have been <br />used for the preceding 26 pay periods, at the salary <br />for the year the payment is being made. The City <br />will endeavor to make payment on the non-payroll <br />Friday immediately following the first payroll Friday in <br />January, however the payment will be made no later <br />than the first pay period in February. There shall be <br />no payment in lieu of accumulated sick leave benefits <br />for years prior to such calendar year. <br /> <br />Accumulated sick leave credits shall be reduced by <br />the value of the sick leave compensated as provided <br />in the above paragraph and the remaining balance <br />shall be accumulated to a maximum as outlined in <br />Section 18.1.1. <br /> <br />32 <br />
