ARTICLE XI <br /> 11 . 0 OTHER LEAVES OF ABSENCE <br /> 11 . 1 Sick Leave . <br /> A. Definition. Except as otherwise provided below, <br /> sick leave shall be deemed to mean absence from <br /> duty of an employee because of illness or injury <br /> that prevents the employee from performing the <br /> duties of his or her position, and shall be deemed <br /> to include time in quarantine resulting from <br /> exposure to a contagious disease . <br /> All "safety member" employees hired after July 1, <br /> 1981, and all persons employed as "safety members" <br /> by the City as of July 1, 1981, with five years of <br /> service or less shall not be entitled to use sick <br /> leave during periods of absence due to industrial <br /> illness or injury or to extend any leave of absence <br /> due to industrial illness or injury which leave is <br /> compensable under Labor Code Section 4850 ; provided <br /> that when said employees working for the City as of <br /> July 1, 1981, who then have five (5) years of <br /> continuous service with the City, they shall be <br /> able to use such leave during such absences in the <br /> same manner and to the same extent as persons <br /> employed as "safety members" by the City as of July <br /> 1, 1981 , who have already completed five (5) years <br /> of continuous service with the City. <br /> B. Accrual . Each employee shall be entitled to, and <br /> shall earn, one (1) working day (8 hours) of sick <br /> leave for each full calendar month of service in <br /> which he or she is employed by the City with full <br /> pay; provided, however, any absence on sick leave <br /> for a period of time greater than fifteen (15) <br /> consecutive calendar days in any one (1) calendar <br /> month shall not be considered to be service <br /> entitling an employee to earn sick leave as <br /> aforesaid. Subject to the other provisions in this <br /> Article, sick leave shall accrue to the credit of <br /> each employee to the extent that it is not used. <br /> Notwithstanding the foregoing, employees on leave <br /> of absence for service-connected illness or injury <br /> who are covered by the provisions of Labor Code <br /> Section 4850 , shall continue to accumulate one (1) <br /> day of sick leave (8 hours) for each full calendar <br /> month of service for which he or she is employed by <br /> the City with full pay during said absence for <br /> service-connected illness or injury. <br /> 36 <br />
