Common use of During Sick Leave Clause in Contracts

During Sick Leave. When an employee who is receiving paid sick leave reaches the maximum number of accrued vacation hours set forth in this section, during the period of such paid sick leave, the accrual limits shall be waived and the employee shall continue to accrue vacation at the normal rate. The waiver of the normal accrual limits shall not become effective until the employee has filed with the Human Resources Department a valid statement from his/her physician stating that he/she cannot return to work. The waiver of the stated vacation accrual limits shall continue for thirteen (13) pay periods, if necessary, after the pay period in which the employee returns to work. During the waiver period, the employee will use enough vacation so that the balance of accrued vacation will not exceed the limits stated in this section. Any such excess vacation accrual not used shall be forfeit, and removed from the employee’s record, with no compensation being made for the employee. After the stated period of thirteen (13) pay periods, the vacation accruals will again be effective for the employee.
