Mid-Shift Usage. An employee who becomes sick during working hours or before the end of his work day shall report said illness to his immediate supervisor prior to clocking out or leaving work. In the event no immediate supervisor is available, then the employee shall report to the person responsible or in charge. Any employee who leaves work under these circumstances will be charged for a minimum of one (1) hour sick leave. This one (1) hour minimum charge will not apply to prearranged doctor's appointments, or to situations where the employee is permitted to leave work to visit the doctor and returns to work in less than one (1) hour. If an employee leaves work early and the City has reason to believe that the claimed sickness is not legitimate, the City may require the employee to provide evidence that the use of sick leave was justified with the burden of proof being placed on the employee.
