Sick leave may not be used for the purpose of extending an employee's active employment <br /> with the Utilities or for retaining a full-time equivalency percentage that is not based on an <br /> employee's actual planned and scheduled working time. <br /> Employees are required to notify their immediate supervisor at least thirty (30) minutes <br /> prior to the start of their regular working hours if they intend to be absent from work. If an <br /> emergency prevents the employee from notifying his/her supervisor at such time, the <br /> employee is expected to call as soon as possible during the work day. Employees are also <br /> required to keep their supervisors informed of their condition and anticipated return to <br /> work. <br /> An employee attempting to use sick time for reasons other than those explicitly permitted <br /> in this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. <br /> A doctor's certification of the need for sick leave in accordance with this policy shall be <br /> required if an employee is absent more than four (4) days or if abuse of sick leave is <br /> suspected by the employee's immediate supervisor, a Utilities manager, or the Human <br /> Resources Representative. In some circumstances, an employee may be requested to <br /> submit to a medical examination by an appropriate health care provider to confirm whether <br /> the employee is fit for duty. In such a circumstance,the Utilities may select the health care <br /> provider to conduct the examination. <br /> Unused sick leave will not be paid out in wages upon termination of employment, but in <br /> some circumstances is subject to limited conversion under the Health Care Savings Plan <br /> policy found elsewhere in this Handbook. <br /> 38.
