Care Of Relatives Accrued sick leave may be used when an employee cannot perform work duties due to but not limited to the following: personal illness or injury; necessity for medical or dental treatment or examination, where such treatment cannot be scheduled outside of working hours; emergency, illness or injury of the employee’s immediate family member which requires the employee’s attendance and care; quarantine directed by a medical physician; disability; pre and postnatal care. For the purpose of this paragraph, immediate family is defined as; spouse, child, stepchild, adult child, parent, stepparent, mother-in-law, father-in-law, or grandchild. To the extent that state statute (§181.9413) or regulations change, this policy shall be construed as consistent with those changes. Sick leave may be used because of illness of the employee’s sibling or grandparent as well. For siblings and grandparents, use is limited to 160 hours all combined per calendar year. An employee must notify the employee’s supervisor of sick leave usage prior to the employee's starting time, unless an emergency prevents the employee from doing so. Failure to give such notice may be cause for disciplinary action. The County reserves the right to require written medical certification from an employee. In the event of three (3) consecutive days of absence or in cases of the repeated and systematic absence of an employee the Department Head or Supervisor may require a medical statement from an appropriate medical authority before granting sick leave, as well as verification that an employee is able to perform the duties of employment before the employee is allowed to return to work.

However, the supervisor may require acceptable medical verification before approving use of ESLB time. Employees shall be paid 50% of their ESLB not to exceed 400 hours upon termination of employment.
