SICK LEAVE. Each employee of the City of Paducah regularly employed on a full time basis, including each member of the Police and Fire Departments, shall be entitled to sick leave with pay, and one and one-half (11) working days for each month of service shall be placed to the credit of each such employee up to a maximum of 90 working days. For purposes of this section a Saturday shall be con- sidered one working day and a month in which a salaried employee is paid for fifteen days or more and a daily or hourly employee is paid for twelve days or more shall be considered a month of service. Any employee granted a leave of absence with pay for any purpose shall continue to accrue sick leave at the rate prescribed in this section during such absence. An employee eligible for sick leave with pay shall be granted such leave for the following reasons only: (a) personal illness or physical incapacity resulting from causes beyond the employee's control; (b) the illness of a member of the employee's household that requires the employee's personal care and attendance; (c) enforced quarantine of the employee in accordance with community health regulations; or (d) the death of a member of the employee's immediate family, i.e, the parents, children, husband, wife, brother sister, or grandparents of the employee or of the employee's husband or wife. An employee on sick leave shall inform his department head of the fact and the reason therefor as soon as possible, and failure to do.so within the first day of absence may, in the discretion of the City Manager, be cause for denial of sick leave with pay for the period of absence. 997 An employee receiving sick leave with pay who simultaneously receives any compensation through a sick .benefit plan financed in whole or in part by the city shall receive, for the duration of such com- pensation, only that portion of his regular salary which will, together with said compensation, equal his regular salary. Sick leave with pay in excess of three consecutive working days for any reason shall be granted only after presentation of a written statement by a licensed physician certifying bhat the employee was unable to perform the duties of his position. Such statements shall accompany payrolls submitted to the City Treasurer. In special cases, with individual employees, where a Depart- ment Head feels it is necessary to avoid abuse of the sick leave pro- visions, the Department Head may, with the approval of the City Manager, require .that particular employee to submit a written statement by a licensed physician for any absence. The employee will be notified in advance that he will be required to submit such a statement when he is absent.on sick leave. In unusual circumstances, and with the approval of the Department Head and the City Manager, sick leave may be taken in advance of accrual up to a maximum of 30 working days; provided that any employee separated from city employment who has been granted sick leave that is unaccrued at the time of such separation shall reimburse the city for all salary paid in connection with such unaccrued leave. and, if possible, for this purpose a deduction shall be made from the employee's final payroll check." SECTION 2. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are, to the extent of such conflict, hereby repealed. SECTION 3. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption. rxZti ze�z Mayor Passed by the Board of Commissioners June 21, 1966 No Recorded by Sarah Thurman, City Clerk, June 21, 1966.
