Sick Leave Exclusion. Beginning with the seventh time and each time thereafter a member is granted sick leave under Section 24.2 in any calendar year, the first three (3) work days of each such leave shall be granted without pay, except (A) Where the use of sick leave is substituted for FMLA leave under Section 28.8(A) of this Agreement; (B) Where the use of sick leave is for bereavement purposes under Article 25 of this Agreement; or (C) Where the Chief approves the member’s request to change the absence to other paid leave. Use of sick leave for the same illness or injury, when certified by a physician and when such usage is approved by the Chief, shall be counted as one (1) absence for the purpose of this Section if the use of sick leave occurs during a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the time the member returns to work. For good cause, the Chief may waive any restrictions upon sick leave use contained in this Section.
