Work Week/Assignment. Accrual A bargaining unit employee assigned to a 40-hour work week for 12 continuous months or greater will be credited with 15 8-hour days (120 hours) of sick leave at the beginning of the year (January 1) in which he/she assumes the 40-hour position. When the employee moves back to shift he/she will be credited with the normal sick leave allotment of 7 shift days (168 hours). Existing Bank A bargaining unit employee assigned to a 40-hour work week will not have his/her bank of sick leave existing at the time of the assignment converted. The 120-hour allotment will be added to the employee’s existing bank. Mid-Year Assignments If a bargaining unit employee is assigned from shift to a 40-hour work week mid-year for an assignment period of 12 months or greater, the employee will convert to the 40-hour work week limit of 120 hours sick time per the following formula: Shift sick hours used divided by shift sick hours remaining = a percentage. Percentage multiplied by sick staff hours(max) = sick time hours available. The following year the employee will be awarded 120 hours of sick time as normal. Sick leave may be granted for any of the following reasons: • Incapacitation due to illness, injury or disability, but excluding injuries or illnesses sustained while working for the City. • Personal medical or dental appointments, which cannot be scheduled during non-working hours (although every attempt should be made to schedule these appointments outside of working hours). • Absence required caring for a seriously ill or disabled member of the employee's immediate family. Immediate family is defined as the employee's spouse, children, parents, parents-in-law, sisters, and brothers. Other persons who are members of the employee’s household are also included. • Once an employee has been granted and is using vacation leave, he or she may not change the status to sick leave unless he or she becomes admitted to the hospital. • For personnel assigned to 40-hour workweeks, the city will allow a father or adoptive father or adoptive mother to utilize eight days (64 hours) or a birth mother to utilize sixteen days (128 hours) in conjunction with the birth or adoption of their child.
