ARTICLE V. Sick Time and Disability Provisions
Section 1. Each employee shall receive ten (10) hours sick time per month
for a total of one hundred-twenty (120) working hours per year during the year
of contract (2004-2007), from the date of employment to the date employment
terminates. Permanent employees will be credited January 1 of the contract years
with the full amount of sick hours (120) as if they were already earned with
the assumption they will work the full year. If an employee is terminated from
his/her position the sick time will be prorated by the number of hours earned
for the months worked up to their termination. Any time used over the earned
amount will be deducted from the employee’s termination paycheck.
New hires will be pro-rated based on their hiring date at a figure equal to
total hours for the year divided by number of months (120 divided by 12 = 10
hours per month * months left from hire date (hired June 1, 2004) = 6 mos. * 10
(3)
hours = 60 sick hours available for the six months.
Unused sick time shall be paid the last pay period in December of each year.
For purpose of this agreement any reference to a "day/shift" of leave shall mean
the hours (10 or 14) scheduled for that day/shift.
Section 2. Payment for accumulated sick leave is calculated by
dividing the highest base salary attainable by that employee at the time of
termination of employment (excluding overtime) by 52. Said calculation will
arrive at a weekly rate which then shall be divided by forty-two (42). Said
calculation will arrive at a weekly rate, which shall than be divided by
forty-two (42) for rotating shift employees or forty (40) for steady day shift
employees. Said calculation will arrive at an hourly rate, which shall
than be multiplied times the unused sick time.
Section 3. Employees, with three (3) or more years of service, who
receive a disability retirement or a deferred retirement pursuant to P.F.R.S.
shall receive payments in accordance with Section 1 of this Article.
Section 4. An employee covered by this agreement may take sick time for

cause for disciplinary action. When known that sick leave will be required
for more than three (3) working days, such leave must be requested by the
(4)
employee in writing to his Supervisor. This request must be accompanied by a
written and signed statement from a physician prescribing sick leave and stating
the reason(s) and the anticipated duration of the incapacity of the employee or
immediate family member.

following manner.

Commissioners and FMBA for the purpose of arriving at a final determination.
D. In event the employee contends that he or she is entitled to a
period of disability beyond the period established by the treating physician, or
a physician employed by the Commissioners or its insurance carrier, then, and in
that event, the burden shall be upon the employee to establish such additional
(5)
period of disability and such findings by the Division of Workers' Compensation,
or by the final decision of the last reviewing court shall be binding upon the
parties.
E. For purposes of this Article, injury or illness incurred while the
employee is attending a training program mandated by the Commissioners shall be
considered in the line of duty.

agree to be bound by the decision of an appropriate Workers' Compensation
judgement, or, if there is an appeal therefrom, the final decision of the last
reviewing court.
G. An injury on duty requiring time off for treatment, recuperation
or rehabilitation shall not be construed as chargeable under sick time
regulations.
