Purpose for Utilization of Sick Leave. Sick leave may be utilized for any personal illness, injury or physical incapacity not compensable under Maryland’s Workers’ Compensation Act, which prevents the employee from performing the functions of the employee's job; and for necessary medical, dental or optical examinations conducted by a licensed physician. In addition, sick leave may be utilized to care for an ill or disabled member of the employee’s immediate family (child, spouse or parent) in accordance with the Maryland Flexible Leave Act.
