The City Manager may grant leave up to six (6) months without pay to <br /> an employee who has exhausted all of their accrued sick leave if a licensed <br /> physician indicates that the employee will be sufficiently recovered to return to <br /> their employment within a six (6) month period. Prior to the expiration of the <br /> additional time, the employee may return to their position provided that they have <br /> a certificate from their physicians stating that the employee is able to perform all <br /> the duties of their position without qualification. In addition to the above, the City <br /> Manager may grant a further extension not to exceed a total of one(1) year without <br /> pay. <br /> F. Extension by Use of Vacation.
