1. Any individual employed for an entire calendar year who uses
no sick time during that calendar year shall receive sixty percent (60%) of
one week's pay. Any such employee who uses less than twenty-four (24)
hours of sick leave shall receive thirty percent (30%) of one week's pay. Any
such employee who uses less than forty-two (42) hours of sick leave shall
receive $100.00. Payments to be made hereunder shall be made in the
January next succeeding the calendar year in question.
2. The first payment for this plan shall be made in January, 1995,
based on sick leave accruals for the calendar year 1994.
3. All computations referred to in this Paragraph M shall be
performed by the Fire Department based upon its records.
4, This benefit shall cease for any calendar year in the event that
total department sick leave use exceeds eleven thousand five hundred
(11,500) hours in that year. In the event that total department sick leave use
is less than eight thousand (8,000) hours in any year, the benefit described in
Paragraph M.1 above shall increase as follows:
No sick time used in the calendar year - seventy-five percent
(75%) of one week's pay;
Fifteen (15) hours or less of sick leave used in the calendar year
- sixty percent (60%) of one week's pay;
Thirty hours or less of sick leave used in the calendar year -
fifty percent (50%) of one week's pay;
Forty-eight (48) hours or less of sick leave used in the calendar
year - forty percent (40%) of one week's pay.
In computing total departmental sick time use for purposes of determining whether
the enhanced benefits in this subparagraph will be paid in the calendar year in
question, all departmental sick time used will be included, except that the
consecutive hours used by an individual employee on account of a single injury or
illness which exceed 420 consecutive hours for that injury or illness will not be
included. The 420 hour maximum shall be included in the computation.
