Using Sick Leave. Employees may utilize their sick leave for the following purposes:
Using Sick Leave. Sick leave shall be guaranteed to employees using the following guidelines:
Using Sick Leave. 12.2.6.1 At the beginning of each fiscal year, the full amount of sick leave granted under this Section shall be credited to each unit member.
Using Sick Leave a) Sick leave is defined to mean a period in which the Employee is incapacitated for the performance of assigned duties by sickness or injury, or by pregnancy, childbirth and recovery from them, or period of time required for medical, surgical, dental, or optical examination or treatment, or where through exposure to a contagious disease, the presence of the Employee on duty would jeopardize the health of others.
Using Sick Leave. This policy applies to all employees of Intercity Transit, unless leave specifics are otherwise outlined in a labor agreement, if applicable.
Using Sick Leave. Employees may utilize their allowance of sick leave when they are unable to perform their work duties by reason of personal illness or injury, or for any of the circumstances as specified in Section 2 above. In such event, the employee shall notify the City of absence due to illness or injury, or for other authorized reasons specified above and the nature and expected length thereof as soon as possible prior to the beginning of his regular scheduled work shift, unless he is unable to do so because of the serious nature of the injury or illness. The City may, at its option, require a physician’s statement of the nature and identity of the illness or injury, the need for the employee’s absence and an estimated duration of the absence, for absences over three days in length, prior to allowing the employee to return to work and receive payment for the sick leave taken. However, when in the judgment of the City, reason exists to suspect that an employee has abused the sick leave privilege, the City shall be able to notify the employee in writing that the City shall require that employee to obtain a physician’s statement certifying the reason for any further use or uses of sick leave in any amount until the alleged abuse of sick leave has ceased. Where the City finds the employee is, by reason of his illness or injury, unable to perform services with the regularity, efficiency or degree of safety to himself or to others which the City finds necessary to the proper operation of the department and safety of fellow employees and the public, or where the City finds that the employee’s illness or injury is a state where it may present an unnecessary and unreasonable risk of infection to other employees, the City shall have the right to require that he absent himself and take further sick leave, or, if the employee’s sick leave has been exhausted, that he remain on leave with the option to use accrued vacation, compensatory, or floating holiday time to cover a continuing absence due to illness or injury.
Using Sick Leave. Xxxx leave shall be used only upon approval of the employee's department head and only for the following reasons: illness, quarantine, pregnancy, personal injury, death of an immediate family member, or instances where illness in the immediate family requires the care and/or attendance of the employee. A maximum of sixty (60) hours accrued sick leave per year may be used toward non-FMLA qualified sickness in the immediate family; vacation hours, leave without pay, or other appropriate leave will be used for any hours over the maximum. Immediate family shall be defined as the employee's father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, child, grandchild or grandparent related by blood, current marriage, or adoption or any legal guardian.
