Permissible Uses Operators may use sick leave for absence due to the operator's illness, injury, doctor's or dentist's appointments (limited to the time of the appointment plus reasonable travel time), exposure to contagious disease which could be communicated to other operators, and absence due to illness, injury or death in the operator's immediate family, when the operator's presence is necessary. In the event that the City offers an alternative assignment on a temporary basis to an employee who is unable to perform his/her normal job duties due to work-related injury or illness and the City provides reasonable productive accommodations for the employee, and the employee refuses to return to work, the employee may not use sick leave for their absence. The assignment shall be consistent with the employee’s physician’s return to work restrictions. Interpretation of immediate family in terms of serious illness, or injury is generally determined to be the spouse, parents, (either natural, step, xxxxxx or in-law), siblings, children (natural, step, xxxxxx or in-law) and other relatives living in the operator's household. However, the Communications Director is authorized to evaluate the individual operator's family relationship in determining what other family members might be considered to be immediate family because of the closeness of their relationship. For purposes of bereavement leave the immediate family shall include spouse, parent, parent-in-law, step-parent, child, step-child, brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, half-brother, half-sister, grandparent-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law and other relatives living in the employee’s household, or any person for whom an employee serves as legal guardian. Upon the death of a qualifying family member up to three (3) work days of bereavement leave shall be granted by the City. The Communications Director may extend such leave up to a total of seven (7) workdays. The Director may require verification for the use of bereavement leave. Bereavement leave days shall be deducted from accrued sick leave days.
