the municipal service in good standing shall receive
compensation of all accumulated unused sick leave, based upon
the rate of two percent (2%) of each year of service to a
maximum of fifty percent (50%).
B. Effective July 1, 1989 the maximum accrual limit of 1,200
hours is amended to permit continued accrual for sick leave
usage purposesfor all represented employees. The maximum of
1,200 hours continues to apply for cash -in purposes upon
termination for employees hired on June 30, 1979 or before.
C. Employees in the Bargaining Unit hired on 7/1/79 or after
will not be entitled to cash in unused accumulated sick leave
upon separation from the City. However, employees hired
after July 1, 1979, will participate in a sick leave
incentive plan which was finalized December 1, 1983 (attached
Exhibit "F"). It is further agreed that we will meet and
confer on development of a method of converting all employees
onto the sick leave incentive plan, rather than the sick
leave compensation upon separation from City Service.
D. An employee eligible for sick leave with pay will be granted
such leave with approval of the department head for the
following purposes:
1. Personal illness or illness within the immediate family
or physical incapacity resulting from causes beyond the
employee's control; or
2. Enforced quarantine of the employee in accordance with
community health regulations.
3. In the event of a death or critical illness in the
immediate family, an employee eligible for sick leave
may, upon proper notification, be allowed to use up to
three (3) days of sick leave for such a circumstance in
the immediate family within the state or five (5) days
for such a circumstance in the immediate family out of
state. The immediate family is generally defined as
spouse, children, parents, brothers or sisters. Where
such death or critical illness has occurred, the employee
will be expected to furnish satisfactory evidence of the
situation to the department head if requested. Employee
may request, and on approval of the Department Head,
receive additional sick leave days off in the event of a
death or critical illness in the immediate family.
XIII. VACATION
A. Policy Statement. Three (3) members per shift shall be
allowed off on vacation during all months of the calendar
year if the Firemen's Association reduces sick leave 25% of
the base figure of 277 twenty-four hour shifts, or a
- 7 -
reduction of 69 twenty-four hour shifts. The 25% reduction
would not include any Workmen's Compensation time or lengthy
sick leave for a twelve month period beginning on January 1st
of a given year, and ending December 31st of that year, and
will be renegotiated based on sick leave usage at the end of
the first year. The allowing of three (3) men per shift off
on vacation is predicated on a complement of eighty-two
personnel in suppression. A decrease in the personnel
complement below eighty-two due to economic reasons will
require a re-evaluation of the above procedure.
B. Vacation Conversion. In accordance with Resolution No. 5134,
Section 17, and City Council policy established January 7,
1980, Fire Association employees who would otherwise lose
vacation days during any single year because of the City's
inability to schedule annual accrued vacation usage for
everyone, may convert the number of days over and above what
they aze able to take off to cash, up to a maximum of seven
(7) days per calendar year.
Additionally, the Fire Chief, with the City Manager's
approval, may extend this benefit to classified employees
when it is to the City's benefit and the Fire Chief believes
the circumstances warrant it.
C. Vacation Relief. Firefighters with twelve (12) or more years
of continuous service will be exempt from vacation relief
duty with the stipulation that if insufficient numbers of
Firefighters of less than twelve (12) years of continuous
service are available for vacation relief, those members with
twelve or more years of service who must assume relief will
be selected based upon those with the least amount of
seniority first. Department members on probationary status
will be exempt from vacation relief duty for the first year
of service.
XIV. SAFETY COMMITTEE
If the City reinstates a Citywide Safety Committee, one member of
the Firefighter or Fire Engineer classification shall serve on
this committee.
