Use of Sick Time. Sick time is for use when an employee cannot work due to an illness, injury, medical or dental appointment of the employee or their family. Except in cases of emergencies, medical and dental appointments should be scheduled in advance so as to create the least possible conflict with staffing requirements. The employee will give the Employer at least twenty-four (24) hour advance notice of such appointments, except in an emergency.

When the amount of the employee’s accumulated sick leave has been depleted, the City will no longer pay the difference between worker’s compensation and the employee’s salary. An employee will continue to accrue and receive benefits for the first 30 calendar days while on compensation. When this period has elapsed, he shall be deemed to be on inactive status and will not be eligible to accrue or receive benefits other than those stipulated in this section.

The ill employee will call their Supervisor or their designate, who will find a replacement and contact the centre to advise.

Employees who intend to take sick time for an unplanned absence must notify their supervisor by phone, text or email at least one hour before the start of their work day. Employees that are unable to provide notice of their absence because of exigent circumstances per- taining to the illness or medical emergency may be excused from the above no- xxxx requirement. Employees who are out ill for three (3) consecutive days will need a doctor’s note to verify the illness and authorize that they are fit to return to work. Employees are limited in their use of sick leave to 48 hours (or six days) per year. Employees shall take sick leave in at least one (1) hour increments. Employees may take sick leave for their own health condition or the health condition of a family member, including preventative treatment. “Family member” is defined broadly and includes a spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, step- child, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, and xxxxxxx.

Use of Sick Time. If a retiree has accrued “sick time” balance and wishes to continue health insurance coverage they may do so. Sick time, up to 960 hours or 120 days, will be exchanged for months of continued health insurance coverage (individual or family) until the sick time is depleted. For each month of provided retiree health coverage the sick bank at retirement will be reduced by 16 hours until the sick bank is depleted. Once the sick bank is depleted the retiree may continue coverage under the applicable Premium Percentage. Premiums are due by the 20th of the month preceding the coverage month.
