Sick Leave Sample Clauses

This clause ensures that employees can recover from health issues without fear of losing their job or income, thereby promoting workplace well-being and providing clear guidelines for both employers and employees regarding absences due to sickness.

Sick Leave. Effective with the initial date of employment, every seniority employee shall be granted eight (8) hours sick leave allowance for each completed calendar month of service from which shall be subtracted any particular sick leave actually used since that date. Such sick leave allowance may only be used by an employee when incapacitated to perform his duties due to sickness, injury, when quarantined. If the injury is of a nature, as determined by a doctor, that the employee can perform available work and if the Chief determines that work is available which the employee can perform, as determined by a doctor, then the employee will report for said available work. Employees, with prior approval, may use earned sick leave off in case of serious illness of an employee’s immediate family. In the event of sick leave for such purpose, the Chief may require a certificate from a medical doctor or other competent professional individual giving information as to the circumstances involved. In the event of death in an employee's immediate family, sick leave may be used, upon approval of the Chief, in addition to bereavement leave. The immediate family for this purpose shall be defined as in Section 6.5. All foreseeable leaves for such purposes shall require specific prior approval of the Department Head. It is understood and agreed that sick leave will not be abused. A medical certificate will not be required to substantiate a request for approval of sick leave for three (3) consecutive days or less, unless the employee has been notified in writing about excess use or abuse of sick leave within the previous twelve (12) month period. An employee will not receive a written notice unless he has first been verbally cautioned by his supervisor on at least one occasion during the previous twelve (12) month period. The continued excessive use or abuse of sick leave may be grounds for disciplinary action. Sick leave usage shall be deducted from earned sick leave accrual to the nearest 1/10 of an hour as shown on the employee time record.
