SICK LEAVE ADJUSTMENTS. As reflected in prior agreements between the Union, its then affected membership and the Township, those accrued but unused hours of sick leave credited between February 1, 1979 through December 31, 1985 to those Members who were working an average 56 hour work week were further adjusted to reflect a change in the charge factor of 11.2 hours to a rate of one (1) hour for each hour of sick leave so used. However, the hours so adjusted shall never be repurchased by the Township, nor be available for payment at retirement, nor be counted toward the 2800 hour cap for sick leave bonuses purposes. Rather the adjusted hours may only be used for approved sick leave absences and, if not so used, shall be forfeited without payment or compensation therefor. The adjustment factor for these hours was 1.1428. Furthermore, the accrued but unused hours of sick leave credited from February 1, 1979 to those Members who were not working an average 56 hour work week (of which there were four as of March 24, 1986) were adjusted to reflect a change in schedules for such Member(s) if, in fact, any such Member was permanently assigned to an average 56 hour work week. In that event, the adjustment factor was 1.4, with the adjustment becoming effective on the date such Member was permanently assigned and working an average 56 hour work week. All of the foregoing adjustments have been properly made under the terms of prior agreements between the parties. In the future, if a member working an average 56 hour work week is assigned to another shift, such Member's accrued but unused sick leave hours would be downwardly adjusted. For instance, a Member working an average 56 hour work week who is assigned to a 40 hour shift would have his accrued but unused sick leave hours so adjusted by using a factor of 0.714. Likewise, if such Member were then reassigned back to a 56 hour work week, his accrued but unused sick leave hours would be upwardly adjusted by using a factor of 1.4.
