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 or domestic partner whose illness required the employee's care. Sick leave may also be utilized for specified circumstances as provided for by City Policy and State and Federal law, including use of up to one-half of sick leave accrued in any calendar year to obtain any relief or services related to being a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking including the following with appropriate certification of the need for such services: • A temporary restraining order or restraining order. • Other injunctive relief to help ensure the health, safety or welfare of themselves or their children. • To seek medical attention for injuries caused by domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. • To obtain services from a domestic violence shelter, program, or rape crisis center as a result of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. • To obtain psychological counseling related to an experience of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. • To participate in safety planning and take other actions to increase safety from future domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, including temporary or permanent relocation. Unused sick leave may be accumulated to maximum sick leave credits of 1200 hours. In the event an employee has accumulated the maximum sick leave credits of 1200 hours and the employee becomes so severely ill that he exhausts his/her sick leave, the City Manager may authorize additional sick leave to include any sick leave in excess of the 1200 hours 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. An employee may elect to receive compensation in lieu of sick leave credits for any calendar year (based on the first twenty-six (26) pay periods in the calendar year) by requesting payment of unused sick leave in writing to the Director of Finance no later than December 1 prior to the calendar year in which leave is earned. Payment shall be made at fifty percent (50%) of the unused sick leave hours accrued for that calendar year at the salary for the year the payment is being made and shall be made after December 31. There shall be no payment in lieu of accumulated sick leave benefits for years prior to such calendar year.
