Sick Leave for Temporary Part. Members (SI1) SI1 members shall be eligible for paid sick leave. SI1 members will accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every thirty (30) hours worked for the City of Oakland. Unit members that have reached the threshold of 4800 lifetime to date (LTD) hours shall accrue paid sick leave at the rate of two (2) hours for every thirty (30) hours worked. The City of Oakland caps paid sick leave for SI1 members at ninety- six (96) hours. Once an employee reaches this cap, he/she will no longer accrue paid sick leave. Once an employee uses accrued, paid sick leave and falls below the cap, he/she starts accruing paid leave again. Sick leave accrual is for usage only and not subject to buy back and/or cash out. SI1 members may use paid sick leave after reasonable notice to their supervisor for the following reasons: • When an employee is physically or mentally unable to perform his/her duties due to illness, injury, pregnancy or medical condition; • To obtain a professional diagnosis or treatment of his/her medical condition or undergo a physical examination; and • To aid or care for a child, parent, legal guardian or xxxx, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, spouse, registered domestic partner who is ill, injured, or receiving medical care, treatment or diagnosis. If an employee has no spouse or registered domestic partner, he/she may designate one individual “Designated Person” that they will aid or care for. Employees that have been inactive continuously for twenty-four months from the last pay period will not have any of their previous LTD hours applicable. The City shall inform departments that accrued but unused sick leave shall not be charged against the member’s maximum hour limit.
