Employees shall accrue sick leave credits in accordance with the foregoing schedule from their initial date of employment and shall be entitled to the use of sick leave upon completion of three (3) months of continuous, full-time satisfactory employment. The use of accrued sick leave shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.00, Sick Leave, of this Memorandum of Understanding.
