City of Eugene <br /> Human Resource and Risk Services Policies <br /> 3-810 SICK LEAVE FOR NON-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES (Revised 08/21/02) <br /> Sick leave is a form of insurance given to reduce the financial burden for <br /> employees of non-occupational illnesses and injuries. Regular full-time <br /> employees accrue ninety-six (96) hours of sick leave per year. Regular part-time <br /> employees accrue pro-rated sick leave based on their regular hours worked <br /> (note -overtime worked is not considered in the determination of sick leave <br /> accrual). Sick leave does not accrue during leave without pay. Fifty-six (56) <br /> hour fire personnel accrue one hundred forty-four (144) hours of sick leave per <br /> year. <br /> .Sick leave may be used for personal illness and injuries, for qualified family <br /> medical and parental leave, and for medical, dental, and eye exam office visits <br /> <br /> ~ (as long as employees get approval from their supervisor in advance of the <br /> appointment). If possible, employees should schedule appointments during <br /> off-duty hours, particularly if an employee's absence requires substitute staffing <br /> to assure adequate service. If employees choose to travel outside the Eugene <br /> metropolitan area for a doctor's appointment, the travel time is not covered by <br /> sick leave. Sick leave is not allowed for disabilities resulting from employment <br /> other than with the City. <br /> Sick leave is not allowed for injury or illness that is compensable under Workers' <br /> Compensation, unless the employee is receiving time loss benefits and has <br /> exhausted the time loss supplement benefit described in Section 7-220. Once <br /> an employee has exhausted the time loss supplement benefit, the employee <br /> may use other leave accruals at their discretion (e.g., sick leave, vacation, <br /> holiday and comp time) to continue the supplement. During this time, the <br /> employee will not accrue additional leave on the unpaid (LWOP) time, but will <br /> accrue leave time on the time coded to paid leave. <br /> An employee requesting time off due to non-occupational illness or injury or <br /> medical appointment must charge the time to his/her sick leave accrual If an <br /> employee has no sick leave time accrued, s/he will be placed on leave without <br /> pay unless an exception is granted. Exceptions will be granted for chronic, <br /> long-term,- or catastrophic illnesses only. If an exception is granted, the <br /> employee may use other available accruals for sick leave. <br /> SEE: Section 3-835 for Illness while on vacation for Non-Represented Employees <br /> SEE: Appropriate Labor Agreement for Represented Employees <br /> SEE: Section 7-200 for more information about Workers' Compensation for <br /> Human Resource and Risk Services Revised: 08/21/02 <br /> <br />
