SICK LEAVE
In general, regular City employees, except certain seasonal employees, earn sick leave credit at the rate of 1¼ day per month. Management employees and some other union and employee groups can earn 1 day per month under an incentive program to control sick leave use. These employees receive either an additional vacation day or equivalent pay for not using sick leave during a four-month period.
In general, regular City employees may accumulate up to 120 days of sick leave credit. Some City employees represented by certain Unions may accumulate more than 120 days of sick leave credit. Although you may not use sick leave credit until you have completed six months of employment, the accumulation begins on the day you start work.
Sick leave may be used when you, yourself, are actually sick. Sick leave may also be taken when you have been exposed to a contagious disease or require medical attention. You are not entitled to sick leave to care for a sick family member or if your illness is due to personal habits and irresponsibility, rather than uncontrolled circumstances. Legitimate sick leave usage is encouraged, but sick leave abuse is subject to disciplinary action.
Worker’s Compensation and sick leave pay are not allowable for the same period. A medical certificate that should specify the nature of the illness and the duration of treatment and disability must cover all sick leaves of more than three days’ duration.
Please contact your departmental payroll personnel for further information regarding sick leave eligibility.
