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.
