Sick Leave and Injury Leave. Section 1. Sick leave is a benefit provided to the Employees to help offset the financial burden of illness. Every Employee is expected to be present for all assigned shifts, unless he / she suffers from a personal incapacitating illness or injury that renders him / her incapable of performing his / her normal duties, or unless a close family member suffers an incapacitating illness or injury that requires the Employee to provide care for that family member. A “close family member” is defined as a parent, child, spouse, sibling, “in-law” equivalent of the previous categories, “step” equivalent of the previous categories, or “grand” equivalent of the previous categories. Sick Leave is not a privilege that may be used at an Employee’s discretion. Section 2. An Employee may take accrued sick leave with pay for pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions. In addition, the Employee may use any accrued vacation leave.
