Approval of Usage. Employees may use sick leave, upon approval of the responsible administrative officer of the employing unit, for absence due to illness, injury, exposure to contagious disease which could be communicated to other employees, and for illness or death in the employee’s immediate family. In no event will an employee on sick leave be paid for more than eight (8) hours in any 24-hour period, unless his normal work period is more than eight (8) hours, in which case he shall be paid for the actual number of hours. If an employee is scheduled to work on a holiday, and reports sick, the employee will receive regular holiday pay, and it will not be charged against his sick leave. If an employee is absent more than four (4) consecutive work days, the City may require a doctor’s note or other evidence of the cause of absence. An employee shall be charged for sick leave usage on an hour-for-hour basis in increments of not less than one-half hour.
