Section 3. Sickness and Death Leave: The objective of this section is to provide orderly methods of furthering the health and safety of City government employees and aiding employees to do better work. Sick leave, under this rule, is not a right which an employee can use at his discretion, but a privilege which can be allowed only in case of necessity and actual sickness or injury or serious illness of immediate family members which compel an employee to be absent from work. In order to be able to be allowed sick leave with pay, an employee should notify his supervisor not later than four (4) hours after the time set for beginning his daily duties. An employee holding a full-time or part-time position with probationary or permanent status may be allowed a leave of absence from duty without loss of salary on account of sickness or injury. Sick leave with pay is cumulative at the rate of one work day for each month of service beginning at the time of full-time probationary employment. A person who has held a position with tem- porary or interim status and is appointed to a position with probationary status, without a break in service, may have such time credited to sick leave upon the recomme~ovaloofof the department head and personnel officer and app the Chief Administrative Officer. Unused sick leave may be accumulated to a total of one hundred twenty (120) work days. Absence for illness may not be charged to sick leave not already accumulated. Unused sick leave shall not be considered in calculating severance pay. A doctor's certificate or a personal affidavit showing the nature of and cause of sickness or injury must be furnished to the employee's immediate superior, for file in the employee's personnel jacket, upon return from an absence necessitating the use of more than four (4) working days of sick leave. A doctor's certificate or personal affidavit must also be presented by the employee before returning to work to his immediate supervisor in all cases when the employee has been exposed to a contagious disease and for all office visits for medical or dental treatment. Sick leave shall not be granted to an employee who is absent from duty due to illness or injury incurred while gainfully employed by other than the City of Chula Vista. However, sick leave benefits may be used when such employment has been formally recognized and approved by Administration. Such recognition and permission to engage -1- in off-duty work will be handled through forms provided by Administration. Pregnancy in and of itself is not a sickness warranting the granting of sick leave. Illness accompanying pregnancy but not a normal condition thereof, may warrant the granting of sick leave where such illness is estab- lished by the certificate of a licensed physician. Fathers may be granted sick leave to care for their ill child but not in excess of two days. Fathers may use sick leave to care for their family when wife is in or returning from hospital for maternity purposes. Amount of sick leave shall be determined by department head and Personnel Officer recommendation and Chief Administrative Officer approval. An employee who becomes ill and notifies his supervisor while on approved annual vacation may request that all or part of such time, the employee was ill, be charged to sick leave. A physician's certificate or personal affidavit is required in all cases. The smallest unit of time chargeable for sick leave benefits is one hour. The immediate family shall include: Mother, Father, Husband, Wife, Son, Daughter, Sister, Brother or a relative living in the employee's household. An employee who is entitled to temporary disability indemnity as approved by the City's Workman's Compensation Insurance Carrier may use sick leave or other earned leave benefits, as when added to his disability payment will result in full payment not to exceed his monthly salary or wage. An employee shall receive credit for holidays occurring during a leave of absence hereunder. An employee claiming sick leave benefits in case of on-the-job injury shall have a doctor's certificate of release to return to work. When an employee with permanent stAtus is compelled to be absent from work because of death of an immediate family member and, after such employee makes a written request and receives written department head approval, such employee may be allowed the privilege to be absent from work with full pay up to three days, plus reasonable travel time. Travel time will be actual time used, not to exceed five (5) calendar days. Paid absence for family death shall be charged to accumulated sick leave.
