Holiday During Vacation - In the event any of the holidays above occur <br />while an employee is on vacation or sick leave, the holiday shall not be <br />charged as vacation or sick leave. <br /> <br />d. Sick Leave - Sick leave with pay shall be granted to all regular employees <br />except as hereinafter provided, at the rate of one (1) working day for each full <br />calendar month of service. Upon satisfactory completion of six (6) months of <br />service, an employee shall be credited with six (6) days sick leave and shall <br />accumulate sick leave thereafter at the rate of one (1) day for each calendar <br />month of service. <br /> <br />Sick leave shall be defined as the non-job related absence from work due to <br />illness, bodily injury, and exposure to contagious disease and caring of family <br />members or domestic partner whose illness required the employee's care. <br /> <br />Unused sick leave may be accumulated to maximum sick leave credits of 1200 <br />hours. <br /> <br />In the event an employee has accumulated the maximum sick leave credits of <br />1200 hours and the employee becomes so severely ill that he exhausts his/her <br />sick leave, the Human Resources Director may authorize additional sick leave to <br />include any sick leave in excess of the 1200 hours maximum which may have <br />been lost due to the maximum limitation; provided, however, that sick leave <br />credits were not accumulated for a period of six (6) months or longer. <br /> <br />An employee may elect to receive compensation in lieu of sick leave credits for <br />any calendar year by requesting payment of unused sick leave in writing to the <br />Director of Finance. Payment shall be made at fifty (50%) of the value of the <br />unused sick leave for that calendar year at the salary for the year the payment is <br />being made and shall be made after December 31. There shall be no payment in <br />lieu of accumulated sick leave benefits for years prior to such calendar year. <br /> <br />Accumulated sick leave credits shall be reduced by the value of the sick leave <br />compensated as provided in the above paragraph and the remaining balance <br />shall be accumulated to a maximum of 1200 hours. <br /> <br />If an employee terminates his/her employment, for reasons other than death, <br />retirement or discharge, compensation in lieu of unused sick leave shall be paid <br />in accordance with the terms provided for an employee who may elect to receive <br />compensation in lieu of sick leave credits, prorated to the date of termination of <br />service. <br /> <br />Employees who retire from City employment with benefits from PERS or who die <br />while in the employ of the City shall be eligible to receive fifty percent (50%) of <br /> <br />6 <br />
