Sick Leave is defined as any period of time during which an employee may be excused from work without loss of pay due to:

1.   Personal Illness, injury or any other type of physical disability.  

2.  Doctor and dental appointments supported by a written, signed slip stating date and time of appointment.  An employee is expected to report to work or return to work if a reasonable amount of time is available before or after the appointment time.

Sick leave is credited for each hour of work from an employee's date of hire but cannot be used to pay for their first day of sick leave until an employee has been employed for two years.  However, with the departments head's approval, an employee may be paid for sick leave after six months.
