Authorized Only When Necessary Sample Clauses

Authorized Only When Necessary. Use of sick leave by City employees shall be authorized as follows:

Authorized Only When Necessary. Sick leave is not a right which an employee may use at their discretion, but shall be allowed only in cases of necessity and actual sickness or disability, or as authorized in Section 11.1(J). When an accepted industrial illness or injury has caused a non-sworn employee’s absence, for which benefits are required under the State Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, paid sick leave will be allowed such employee during the first three (3) days of the statutory waiting period. If the workers’ compensation related illness or injury continues past the initial three (3) consecutive days, the employee will have the three (3) used sick days recredited to their account. Paid sick leave will continue until the fourth (4th) day when the City pays the employee workers’ compensation benefits for such illness or injury. If the employee does not have sufficient accumulated sick leave at the commencement of such industrial illness or injury, they will be advanced sick leave for this purpose. Subsequently, the City will deduct an equal amount previously advanced from any sick leave accrued by the employee until the total amount is recovered. If the employee terminates before recovery of all advanced sick leave, the City will deduct the unrecovered cost of sick leave from such terminated employee’s final paycheck, to the extent possible. The City may authorize employees to use sick leave, vacation, or compensatory time for approved workers’ compensation medical appointments as specified herein. The City may authorize use of such leave for City approved medical appointments whenever such appointments cannot be secured outside the employee’s regular workday, and salary continuation or workers’ compensation benefits are not available.
